Active learning strategies, such as collaborative assignments, peer instruction, case studies, and problem-based learning, lead to deeper learning and greater student engagement in STEM. Many STEM courses are rich with these experiences when meeting face-to-face; however, implementing these high-impact practices in online courses may seem intimidating and/or impossible. In this session, we will discuss several active learning strategies, how to design remote/virtual assessments that utilize these techniques, and the tools to effectively implement them online.
