<P><SPAN style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">Active learning is a process whereby students engage in learning activities, such as reading, writing, discussion, or problem solving that promote application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of new knowledge of class content.

<P><SPAN style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">There are any number of teaching strategies that can be employed to actively engage students in the learning process, including group discussions, problem solving, case studies, role plays, reflective journal writing, and structured learning groups. By using "active learning" strategies, instructors can motivate students to engage in critical thinking and meaningful learning, promote retention and transfer of new information, and improved interpersonal skills.</SPAN></P>

<P>Using active learning does not mean abandoning the lecture format. Lecturers who use active learning pause frequently during the period to give students a few minutes to work with the information they're providing. They may ask students to respond to a question, to summarize important concepts in discussion, or compare notes with a partner. For example, in order to introduce Ohm's Law (new knowledge) to students, a traditional lecturer may only verbally describe and explain the formula for Ohm's Law. However, a lecture utilizing active learning strategies may ask students to apply Ohm's Law to do problem-solving project or group discussion. </P>
