Answer to Question 1

In active learning, students are directly involved in the learning process. They are engaged through hands-on, minds-on activities that encourage them to think critically and creatively about academic topics. Students work individually and in groups to solve problems and express their ideas in multiple ways through reading, writing and speaking. They use technology to support investigations and explorations of relevant questions and topics.
