What Does Active Learning Look Like in an Online Class? Consider This!
Click through the slideshow below (or read the slideshow's text transcript) to experience an example of active learning in an online class, from the students' perspective. Each slide has an audio play button.
In the scenario above, the activities the students took part in allowed them to think about what they were learning and participate in the learning process in various ways. Creating opportunities for students to be involved in their own learning and engaging students in this way is the nature of a teaching strategy known as active learning. “[A]ctive learning responds to traditional lecture formats with more engaged activities that invite students to participate in learning, including developing conceptual awareness, applying knowledge through experience, and transferring skills across contexts [to help them] ascend Bloom’s Taxonomy [for the Cognitive Domain], from remembering and understanding to analyzing and creating” (Yale).
The figure below denotes Bloom's Taxonomy (for the Cognitive Domain) as a staircase in which the learner ascends.

Benefits of Implementing Active Learning in Your Class
- By integrating active learning activities, students are provided the opportunity to practice 21st century workplace skills (University of Leicester).
- Research suggests that active learning “…[decreases] the achievement gap for underrepresented minorities and first generation college students, particularly in STEM fields…” (Yale).
- Breaking lecture videos into chunked microlessons, followed by a learning activity helps students stay engaged with the material. Research indicates that when a video is longer than 9-12 minutes, students will watch less than half of it (Purdue).
