Active Learning Approaches
Active learning centers around learner engagement, where learners interact with the educator and each other and apply what they are learning during class instead of just listening passively and taking notes.

Watch previous Faculty Development sessions and other content on iLearn for tips on keeping students engaged and adjusting your lecture approach:
Blended Learning
Blended learning combines interactive opportunities found in classroom teaching with technologically enhanced active learning in online formats.
The Interactive E-Learning Program at UNMC offers faculty and students the opportunity to create innovative e-modules that are incorporated into the UNMC curriculum. Learn about funding opportunities and get resources to create your own e-module at the Interactive E-Learning Program website.
A "flipped" class inverts the typical education process so that students gain knowledge before class and instructors guide students interactively to apply that knowledge during class.
