Knowledge, Learning, Community

Discussion of active learning from the perspective of lessons learned. Some of it is overstated ("Students always come through (despite their fears).") Some of it is trivial ("I can't control everything.  Neither can they.") But there are some good points: "Students are as afraid of active learning as we (profs, teachers) are" and "Almost nothing about the way we learn in school is 'natural.'" There's an emphasis on preparation in active learning which I think translates well to online lerarning.
