Richard
Felder on Active Learning Techniques Richard Felder's web site contains
a wealth of articles, advice, and research to promote better teaching,
particularly in the sciences. Dr. Felder's home page declares: "there are
well defined instructional techniques that make teaching more effective.
These techniques can be introduced slowly and methodically, without compromising
coverage of the syllabus".
Guidelines
for Active Learning in a College Classroom This site lists the important
elements of active learning, although active learning does not require
all of them. Simple, yet comprehensive, without any "bells and whistles."
Charles
Bonwell's Active Learning Site This site supports the scholarship of
teaching by providing research based resources designed to help faculty
use active learning successfully in college and university classrooms.
Active learning involves putting our students in situations which
compel them to read, speak, listen, think deeply, and write. Active learning
puts the responsibility of organizing what is to be learned in the hands
of the learners themselves, and ideally lends itself to a more diverse
range of learning styles.
Some
Thoughts About Webquests A Webquest is an inquiry-oriented activity
in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes
from resources on the internet, optionally supplemented with videoconferencing.
This site provides exhaustive information on all aspects of WebQuests,
and the relationship with traditional active learning.
Hypermedia
and Communication For Active Learning The project develops interactive,
hypertext based study material for courses in information systems design
and databases. The project also develops a methodology for integrating
this type of study material in coursework.
Active
Learning Archive Page Active Learning was originally published
twice a year by CTI and became the leading refereed journal for the UK
Higher Education community dealing with learning technologies. Each issue
centered on a specific theme and included academic papers, case studies
and opinions, as well as reviews, conference reports, activity updates
and an events diary.
Active
Learning in Higher Education This on-line journal focuses on
all aspects of development, innovation and good practice in higher education
teaching and learning worldwide, including the use of Communication and
Information Technologies (C&IT). The journal includes accounts of research
by those active in the field of learning and teaching in higher education,
and overviews of topics, accounts of action research, outputs from subject
specific project teams, case studies and theoretical perspectives.
