The critical thinking activity.  An alternative is to use test review to develop critical thinking ability: after a test has been completed and the instructor is reviewing it with students, the instructor can change one data point in a question and/or response list and then ask the students, “How would this change the outcome?” I plan to use this method.

Interactive tools for student application of theory in addition to utilizing a tablet or mobile device as learning tools.
