4. Active Learning
…provides all students with the opportunities to practice, in low stakes but high impact ways, the skills and thinking processes they will need to successfully meet the learning objectives for the course.

5. The process of learning necessitates…
transfer to new contexts
low stakes practice
challenge (with support)
emotions
meaningful
relationships and patterns
links to prior knowledge
feedback
identify flaws in thinking
Social constructivism: knowledge cannot simply be transmitted from teachers to learners: learners must be engaged in constructing their own knowledge
learner is encouraged to create the knowledge in her or his mind. In so doing, the learner becomes the “owner” of the knowledge. Such ownership In Press Journal of the Learning Sciences 4 Technology-Enabled Active Learning enables the learner to understand the knowledge in an intimate way that cannot be achieved by mere memorization
In some cases, the information gathered by the constructivist learner fits nicely into her or his mental framework and poses no problem. Other cases, in which the mental framework is incapable of handling this new information, require that the learner take an active role in the learning process so as to adjust her or his cognitive framework to accommodate the new information.
Social constructivist ideas enable one to investigate and support the notion that knowledge is not the property of individuals; rather it happens in a group setting, where knowledge is distributed and shared.
