Using Active Learning Modules in Online Courses

The online learning division of the Polytechnic School of Engineer has developed, piloted, and is in the process of implementing a new delivery system for online course content we are calling Active Learning Modules.  These modules combine multimedia, interactivity, and assessment to present content in a way that engages the individual learner at their own pace. In this presentation, we’ll talk about what an active learning module is, the results from the pilot, and the development process.
