Andragogy in Online Learning | Origin: EL140

I try to create a classroom environment where adult students must analyze multiple factors, synthesize many factors and create a product. Then have them defend their (typically group) product in discussion with the class.

Improved classroom delivery

I thought the ED114 lesson was very helpful in providing in-classroom techniques to engaged the students. I am always looking for ways to get lively interaction with me and among other students in the classroom. I have been doing a good job but the lesson is very effective in fine-tuning one's classroom actions. Recommend this lesson to all teachers--especially when older students and adults are involved

I have not read Eric Mazur but this sounds much like the case study method, or a variation of it. This always works well if you have enough time for students the read the case study.
