I decided to link to this item even before reading it. That's how dire I think is the need for this advice. The suggestions themselves are, well, meh. One is called 'the muddiest point', and involves the use of Zoom chat to gather information on what remains unclear to students. Another is called 'Think-Pair-Share' and involves using the breakout room settings to pair students to discuss an item, then having them report back to the main group. The third, 'Peer Instruction', involves polling students with course-related questions, showing them the answers, then having them discuss their own answers in breakout rooms. None of this sounds particularly 'active' to me (at best, it's 'collaborative') but it's better than a talking head.
