Use of collaborative and problem-based learning strategies are part of the active learning classroom. It is important to know that each learning path is valuable and valid, and the evaluation of learning must reflect this.

Incorporating "low-risk" active learning strategies slowly is a way to ease into an active learning classroom. Use of rubrics makes grading fair/less subjective. It also gives students the ability to grade their own work before submitting an assignment, ensuring they've completed it accurately. 

Students often find the active learning classroom format difficult becuase it requires more work on their part. They sometimes complain that the instructor is "not teaching them anything." Similarly, the instructor must do more prep work ahead of the class to guide students in their learning. The instructor often feels a loss of control of learning. Other difficulties can include technology problems when implementing active learning activities online.

The traditional lecture-style classroom is not an effective method for students to learn. Active learning is anything where the students engage with the material and take learning into their own hands. This can involve reading and reflecting, doing activities, or group work. Group work is very effective, especially for the digital native generation. I will incorporate more group activities into my classroom in the future.

I like using real life scenarios in order to promote clinical thinking in scanning lab.

I, personally, do not like group projects as I feel there is always 1 student that does not put forth as much effort.  I do like rubrics as it makes grading easier and more fair.

It's tough to ensure students are actually grasping the concept.

How asynchronous learning seems to be the norm now and how to navigate this platform

It is important to revise courses that you are teaching.  This will ensure they are current and best for student learning.

Feedback needs to be given quickly to show online support.  It is a great way to give students guidance and control if they miss the mark to correct quickly.
