So many people have an image of online learning as sitting in front of a computer screen and watching videos or Zoom lessons, or, if you're lucky, filling in forms or pushing buttons. That's perhapps because so much of online learning is designed that way. As Alexandra Mihai writes, it doesn't have to be that way. This post is focused on active learning as a pedagogical strategy, and while I wish she had spoken specifically about getting students to do things away from their keyboards, she offers some useful strategies and links to some resources offering more ideas (p.s. making them work with pen and paper or paperclips and post-it notes does not count as getting people away from their keyboard; it just moves the keyboard back 20 years).
