    "As online classes reduce and often eliminate face-to-face (F2F) interactions, it's important for instructors to learn new ways of understanding and interacting with their online students to further enhance their success. Studies show students' cognitive styles play a key role in their success in online courses."

  • Interactive learning triples students’ gains in knowledge as measured by the kinds of conceptual tests that had once deflated Mazur’s spirits, and by many other assessments as well. It has other salutary effects, like erasing the gender gap between male and female undergraduates.
  • For his part, Mazur has collected reams of data on his students’ results. (He says most scholars, even scientists, rely on anecdotal evidence instead.) End-of-semester course evaluations he dismisses as nothing more than “popularity contests” that ought to be abolished. “There is zero correlation between course evaluations and the amount learned,” he says. “Award-winning teachers with the highest evaluations can produce the same results as teachers who are getting fired.”
  • Active learners take new information and apply it, rather than merely taking note of it.

  • From cognitive science, we hear that learning is a process of moving information from short-term to long-term memory; assessment research has proven that active learning does that best.”
  • Websites and laptops have been around for years now, but we haven’t fully thought through how to integrate them with teaching so as to conceive of courses differently.”
  • It starts from his view of education as a two-step process: information transfer, and then making sense of and assimilating that information. “
  • Taking active learning seriously means revamping the entire teaching/learning enterprise—even turning it inside out or upside down. For example, active learning overthrows the “transfer of information” model of instruction, which casts the student as a dry sponge who passively absorbs facts and ideas from a teacher.

    What a cool collection of resources. I had never heard of the Buck Institute for Education but it looks like they've assembled a good collection of resources for Project Based Learning that will help make a teacher's life easier. They have everything from rubrics to planning forms that range from specific to generic. Other resources are available for teachers to watch on their own time or for teachers to use for interacting with other teachers or trainers. Definitely worth your time to check out, especially if you use or are planning to use Project Based Learning with your students.

    "Strategic use of questions can deepen learning, build a growth mindset, and help students become more aware of their own thinking processes."
