Definition of Active Learning
Focuses the responsibility of learning on the learner. Involves students in doing and thinking about the things they are doing, beyond listening and watching.
(Bonwell and Eison, 1999)

Definition of Active Learning
Learning is not a spectator sport.
Students do not learn by sitting in class listening to teachers. They must talk about what they are learning, write about it, relate it to past experiences, apply it to their daily lives.
(Chickering and Gamson, 1987)
Have you experienced learning as a spectator sport? Was it effective?

Example:

•Identify (and clarify, if possible) anything that is confusing
Example:
