The term active learning is also known as “learning by doing”; it is where students are presented with a variety of learning activities that encourages thinking and reflection. Educational leaders recognize the value of promoting active learning in the educational setting and encourage their faculty to apply active learning techniques in their online classrooms to increase learner interest and motivation. This chapter identifies various active learning strategies that can be applied to any discipline in any online course, as well as presents different examples of active learning activities. Active learning strategies can include group work, simulations (role play), and games, in order to build learners' critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.

The study aimed to analyse the series of natural sciences textbooks for the intermediate stage in the light of active learning in KSA. Two sources of data used: active learning activities card; content analysis card to measure the degree of involvement. The results showed the concentration of the middle textbook series on physical activities, while the students were weakly involved in intellectual activities, social activities were neglected, in addition; the integration activities were low. On the other hand, the values of the involvement coefficient of the natural sciences textbook series for the middle stage in light of the subject matter indicated that it is suitable and excellent, as well as; acceptable in the light of graphics, shapes and, but not satisfactory in activities Where students are involved in the practice of thinking and scientific inquiry in a few percentages. The study recommended that teachers should take into account the diversity of the forms of student activities in active learning during instruction.

Didactic lectures are prevalent in physiology courses within veterinary medicine programs, but more active learning methods have also been utilized. Our goal was to identify the most appropriate learning method to augment the lecture component of our physiology course. We hypothesized that case-based learning would be well received by students and would be more effective at helping them learn physiological concepts compared with more traditional laboratory exercises. In this study, approximately one-half of the laboratory sessions for the two-semester course were dedicated to traditional hands-on laboratory exercises, whereas the remaining one-half of the sessions were dedicated to case-based exercises. The lecture portion of the course was not altered. Student attitudes were evaluated after each session and at the end of each semester via quantitative and qualitative survey questions. Student performance was evaluated using section exams and end-of-semester posttests. The vast majority of survey responses received were positive for both cased-based activities and traditional hands-on laboratories. In addition, participation in both types of active learning activities, but not lecture, was associated with retention of conceptual knowledge based on student performance between the section exams and posttests ( P < 0.002). These results indicate that both case-based learning and laboratory exercises are beneficial learning activities to incorporate into a lecture-based physiology course. However, positive survey responses were significantly greater following case-based activities vs. traditional hands-on laboratories, and only participation in case-based activities resulted in greater student performance on the posttest ( P < 0.04). Therefore, case-based activities may be the preferred supplemental learning activity for veterinary medical physiology.

ABSTRACT: Students often enroll in the managerial principles class because of a degree requirement rather than a burning passion to learn the subject matter. Through active learning, new content can become more interesting by involving students in their own learning. This paper offers accounting faculty four active learning activities to engage students and enhance their understanding of difficult concepts: managerial accounting terminology, activity-based costing, variance analysis, and special order decision-making. During these in-class activities, students work through relevant computations and delve into additional considerations using guided class discussions. A survey of students' attitudes reveals that students perceive that these active learning activities had a positive impact on their content knowledge related to the managerial principles course, as well as their attitude toward and interest in the class. In addition, students felt that the activities were worthwhile and demonstrated the concern their instructor had for quality teaching. The accompanying Teaching Notes contain detailed, step-by-step guidance for implementing the four activities, along with sample solutions.

Numerous articles have been published on the merits of active learning, and collectively they present a body of compelling evidence that these methods do enhance learning. In presenting arguments for active learning, it is often suggested that the traditional didactic lecture is more passive in nature and less effective as a teaching tool. However, a well organized lecture remains one of the most effective ways to integrate and present information from multiple sources on complex topics, such as those encountered in the teaching of physiology. This article presents an argument for enhancing lectures by incorporating active learning activities within their framework, and it is noted that engagement of the student is a key element making active learning activities work. Finally, suggestions are provided on the basis of the author's experience of things instructors can do to make lecture-based courses more engaging to students and, hence, promote learning.

ABSTRAKDitengah merebah wabah Covid-19 ini,kegiatan belajar mengajar di sekolah sangat tidak efektif. Fasilitas internet yang dimiliki oleh sekolah belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal, karena penggunaannya masih terbatas pada kegiatan mencari sumber referensi dan penambahan bahan ajar.Padahal kehadiran internet memmiliki dampak positif yaitu lebih dimudahkannya proses belajar mengajar antara guru dan siswa. Penggunaan aplikasi  multimedia interaktif online dapat mempermudah para siswa dapat mengakses secara online dari berbagai tempat. Sehingga dapat menjadi solusi untuk mengatasi kondisi siswa yang diliburkan karena kasus covid-19. Guru dan siswa masih bisa tetap melakukan pembelajaran dengan tetap stay at home untuk kebaikan dan kesehatan bersama. Dalam multimedia interaktif online (MI-O) ini terdapat tugas proyek. sehingga meningkatkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah, meningkatkan kecakapan kolaboratif, meningkatkan keterampilan mengelola sumber. Siswa dan guru tidak perlu hadir secara fisik di kelas (classroom meeting), karena siswa dapat mempelajari bahan ajar dan mengerjakan tugas-tugas pembelajaran serta ujian dengan cara mengakses jaringan komputer yang telah ditetapkan secara online. Pada Pembuatan MI-O ini berjalan sangat antusias karena banyak guru belum familiar mendengar istilah Adobe Animate CC dan Web Hosting SWF sehingga terbentuk komunitas belajar aktif untuk kegiatan pembelajaran. Kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat ini dilakukan di MTs NW Putra Narmada Desa Lembuak Kecamatan Narmada Kabupaten Lombok Barat NTB. Kata kunci: belajar aktif; multimedia interaktif online; berbasis proyek ABSTRACTIn the midst of the Covid-19 outbreak, teaching and learning activities in schools are very ineffective. Internet facilities that are owned by schools have not been utilized optimally, because their use is still limited to finding reference sources and adding teaching materials. Even though the presence of the internet has a positive impact, namely making the teaching and learning process easier between teachers and students. The use of online interactive multimedia applications can make it easier for students to access online from various places. So that it can be a solution to overcome the conditions of students who were closed due to the Covid-19 case. Teachers and students can still learn by staying at home for the common good and health. In this online interactive multimedia (MI-O) there are project tasks. thus increasing problem-solving skills, increasing collaborative skills, improving resource management skills. Students and teachers do not need to be physically present in class (classroom meeting), because students can study teaching materials and do learning assignments and exams by accessing predefined computer networks online. The MI-O was very enthusiastic because many teachers were not familiar with the terms ADOBE ANIMATE CC and WEB HOTING SWF so that an active learning community was formed for learning activities. This community service activity was carried out at MTs NW Putra Narmada, Lembuak Village, Narmada District, West Lombok Regency, NTB. Keywords: active learning; online interactive multimedia; project based.
