I have learned about the importance of group-based and problem-based active learning strategies in online courses, and how these approaches can foster critical thinking, collaboration, and engagement. I plan to apply these strategies by incorporating structured group activities, real-world problem scenarios, and opportunities for peer reflection into my courses to enhance student learning and participation.
All students in the course learn on different levels. Allowing different formats to help them implement critical thinking skills is great for them to level up on their ability to solve problems.
Group activities are a great way to facilitate active learning and it also helps to develop critical thinking.
