Do beats Show and Tell. Multi-sensory environments improve our ability to learn, requiring us to be active participants in our learning.

Question for the AI/ML/NLP community:
Have there been any major breakthroughs in #activelearning that might warrant an update to my 2012 book on the subject?
I'm aware of some new things we know about the relationship between ML heuristics and human self-directed learning. And of course, broadly speaking, ANNs+LLMs are now a big thing.
But have there been any major advances in *active learning* methods beyond just applying existing heuristics to new models/problems?

Why switching to active learning is hard — and worth it!
Providing downtime during any meeting is important, but scheduling breaks during online meetings is especially important.

Destroy the conference to save it! If we try to save conferences by keeping them the way they've always been, we'll destroy them.

You can build active learning and connection into meetings using pair share. Here's why and when to use trio share rather than pair share.

A few years ago, frustrated that any active learning in my classes prompted angry student evaluation comments, I made this meme more or less quoting the comments.

In less than three minutes, you can improve almost any conference sessions with pair share: for introductions, active learning, and closings.

@sbrl In flipped classrooms, students work through lecture material on their own, and meet their lecturer for joint exercise work. Then, the lecturer is around to discuss, to provide feedback. There are lots of meta-studies on the effectiveness of different interpretations of “flipping”, with mixed results. I currently experiment with “Fail, flip, fix, and feed” of [1] (without significant changes in exam results, but with more fun in the classroom). If you are interested, my teaching statement [2] explains my approach with more references.

@sbrl On flipped classrooms: Where I come from, lecturing is a dominant mode of teaching. It is an effective way of teaching. However, learning is pulling information out of one’s head (aka active learning), strengthening the brain and its physical structures with continued training (similarly to training in the gym for other muscles). Thus, there is little learning in lectures, at least not when I lectured (figured out painfully with bad results on classroom response quizzes that I perceived to be easy), although student evaluations where good. Students left lectures with a good feeling and struggled with the non-obvious complexities of lecture material and exercise work on their own.
