Active Learning in the Classroom: Lessons Learned and Best Practices to Increase Student Engagement. Dr. Matthew W. Stoltzfus Senior Lecturer Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry The Ohio State University Technology is becoming cheaper and more accessible to our students, and as a result, both students and administrators are expecting instructors to integrate technology in the classroom. There has also been a concerted push away from passive lecturing to active engagement in the classroom. How can we use technology to facilitate this push? Are there research-based principles educators can use to engage students? How can instructors ensure students are prepared for every class? Can technology be used in large lecture courses? Do these methods increase exam scores? The answers to these questions and more will be discussed from a broad perspective that can be applied to any discipline and class size.
