Abstract: The article discusses learning techniques that are case-, problem- and team-based as compared to conventional lecture-based approaches. It discusses the use of learning tools, such as Google Docs and SurveyMonkey, to encourage students to participate in the lecture by way of discussion prompts and survey questions set by the lecturers before class. The results of this study suggest that learning tools encourage students to question and debate during class, thereby learning more.
