Active learning promotes higher-order critical thinking skills and involves teaching strategies such as case studies, class debates, think-pair-share activities, role playing, peer teaching, gaming, the 1-minute paper, or questions embedded into a lecture (Adkins, 2018). In a synchronous, remote class session, both expert and mixed cooperative groups could meet via Zoom in breakout rooms. 0000106792 00000 n
An instructor poses a question (typically multiple choice) that students respond to using a student response system. 2009, While students could generate maps individually by hand-drawing them and uploading an image of their work to Google Drive or bCourses to share with colleagues, this method is less ideal for collaborative work in a remote context. 268 0 obj

Alternatively, groups may rotate through each poster together (without any presenters), spending 3-5 minutes reviewing the work and adding sticky notes with thoughts, comments, or questions. Instructors might consider classroom culture in explaining this technique, including, for example, encouraging students to ensure that both members of the pair have equal time to share their ideas. Particularly for larger classes, instructors might consider employing a Zoom poll or bCourses quiz (e.g., graded/ungraded survey). trailer
