Active learning transforms passive listeners into engaged participants by involving learners directly in the construction of knowledge and skills. This evidence-based approach dramatically increases retention, understanding, and transfer compared to passive instruction.
This microburst explores the principles behind active learning and provides practical methods for incorporating it into any learning experience. You’ll discover why actively processing information through discussion, practice, teaching others, and problem-solving creates stronger neural connections and deeper learning.
Learn how to design activities that require meaningful thinking and doing, from simple think-pair-share exercises to complex case studies and simulations. Understand how to balance guidance with discovery to create the optimal level of productive challenge for your audience.
Perfect for learning professionals seeking to move beyond information delivery to create experiences where learners actively construct understanding. Discover how to transform even the most content-heavy topics into engaging learning experiences that produce measurable results.
