Comment on Melanie Lavelle's post: I agree with your point that active learning is a shared responsibility between the instructor and the student. Instructors can design engaging courses and provide meaningful learning opportunities, but students must also take ownership of their learning by participating actively and creating an environment that supports their success. I also found it interesting that active learning can occur just as effectively online as it does in a traditional classroom when courses are intentionally designed to encourage interaction, reflection, and application of knowledge.
