Using active learning to enhance critical learning shifts students from passive receivers of information to active participants in the learning process. Through strategies such as problem-based activities, discussions, case analysis, and collaborative tasks, students are encouraged to question assumptions, apply concepts, and reflect on their understanding. In virtual learning environments, active learning is especially valuable because it promotes engagement, accountability, and deeper cognitive processing. By focusing on analysis, evaluation, and application rather than memorization, active learning supports the development of critical thinking skills and leads to more meaningful and lasting learning outcomes.
