The instructor should communicate what active learning is and the activities that the class will be doing. Lectures may need to be implemented differently.

I learned the limitations of implementing online learning for both the instructor and the student. Both the student and the instructor can have negative attitudes. Misconceptions by students often relate to the feeling that they do not learn.

Comment on Matthew Corbin's post: One of the areas my school is greatly concerned about is student engagement. This will help me formulate plans to help with this area. 

I like the strategy! It is a win-win for the instructor and the student. The goal is comprehension and the ability to critically think through information.

Comment on Lindsay Noelke's post: 

Like you, I gained a lot from what I heard. I do plan to probably listen again and implement what I feel will work with my adult groups.

Comment on Kathy Barajas's post: I agree with the content presented. As you state, it puts the student in charge, but as the instructor, we still have the responsibility to guide the process. This means coming up with engagement methods.

I can definitely see the advantages of active learning. My next step is to determine the correct strategies for my subjects. I look forward to developing this type of instructional change.

Online learning poses some issues, but it definitely requires different techniques than those I have traditionally used. I can see that engaging students in active learning activities would definitely be more effective. The issue is to develop something for the time constraints I am working with,

I learned the importance of having frameworks that lead to development of the curriculum I can use. I see the various component and how they relate in developing an effective tool.

I learned the comparative of classroom face to face and e-Learning. Strategies can be used from in person to on-line.
