Use Active Learning to Keep Students Engaged

Traditional lectures often result in passive learning, where students absorb information but don’t truly engage with it. Active learning strategies, on the other hand, require students to interact with the material, improving retention and participation.

Simple Active Learning Strategies That Require Minimal Prep:

✅ Think-Pair-Share – Have students discuss a concept with a partner before sharing with the class.

✅ Quick Polls & Surveys – Use digital tools to get instant feedback on student understanding.

✅ Retrieval Practice – Instead of reviewing notes, ask students to recall key concepts from memory.

📌 Example: OpenClass’ Interactive Lessons integrate questions directly into course content, allowing students to learn by doing rather than passively consuming information.
