Design of Evidence-Based Blended Learning in Modern University Education

Because of a hack, I have to repair hyperlinks and some text. 

Active learning

Option 41. Stimulate students’ motivation in the class

  1. Variation in your presentation: Gestures, facial expressions, movement to the board, demonstration, audio-visual aids and ICT.
  2. Look at the audience: make eye contact with your students.
  3. Use particular words or phrases like ‘this is worth noting’ and ‘remembering’, ‘enumerate’, ‘list’, ‘this is important for the test’ etc. Repeat keywords.
  4. Include the backbenchers in the last rows in your class.
  5. Learn from the theatre how to present (Visual aids and ICT) and how to deliver (eye contact, body language and movement).
  6. Teach students to make notes (let them compare notes, make summaries, show relationships etc.)
  7. Use possibilities of active learning: asking questions, the minute paper, students discuss in pairs or threesomes, using a clicker, relating with entry-level, giving assignments for homework.
  8. Explain learning objectives and test criteria. Give feedback to the students.
