Active Learning: Individual Tools

Sunshine banner

Hi,

In this page there is a collection of active learning tools for individual students, that are easy to use, but can be powerful for reflection. Each video is available on YouTube and for download. Also included is a brief description of each technique and I have created a PowerPoint presentation for you to download and use.

hope it's useful,
Damian
