There are four strategies that facilitate the active students' learning in different teaching strategies

are the following:

1. Active Learning in Lectures: Lectures do not have to be planned as a one-way


transmission of content from the teacher to the students, as this is a recognized
unproductive learning strategy. Active learning and teacher-student and student-student
interactions can be included in lectures to assist students and provide feedback to teachers
on their grasp of subject information and concepts. Instead of presenting topic
knowledge, lectures in this approach are designed to involve students in examining and
assessing their conceptual understandings. Students prepare for lectures by reading and
discussing subject material. The lecture is organized into a sequence of themes in which
the presenter gives a quick overview or demonstration of the idea before asking a
question that focuses on conceptual understanding rather than equations or derivations.
Students are allowed one minute to consider the question and answer the multiple choice
options that have been offered. This procedure may include the use of clickers to record
responses or a show of hands. Students are then asked to debate their answers with a
partner. They have one minute to persuade their partners of their point of view.

2. Tutorials and Small Group Teaching: Tutorials, seminars, practical classes,


demonstrations, and clinical settings in which students are taught in groups of ten to
thirty students are referred to as "small group teaching." Many teachers believe that
tutorials and other small-group classes are the best places for students to talk and share
their ideas, investigate the relevance of knowledge to their personal experiences, apply
knowledge, role play, and solve problems. Small group lessons are particularly beneficial
since they allow students to form stronger bonds with academic staff and their peers, as
well as gain confidence and have fun.

3. Online Teaching and Learning: All teaching includes varying levels of online learning and
pedagogy, ranging from face-to-face subjects to blended learning to fully online delivery,
emphasizing the fact that all teaching and learning in today's HE sector, including the
independent study model of delivery, is designed with digital learning applications and
approaches.

The Online Learning and Teaching Model is made up of seven components that support
the various forms of engagement and connectedness mentioned above and are meant to
foster a holistic student experience that includes both discipline-specific graduate
outcomes and broader social and emotional development.

The features of this model are:

 Small group support

 Teacher presence

 Interaction with workplaces


 Interaction between students

 Personalised support

 Interactive resources

 e-assessment

4. Experienced academics discuss strategies for engaging and motivating students and
creating teacher presence- Because online teaching and subjects lack the physical
presence of face-to-face classes, which can assist in forming a community and making
learning pleasurable and fascinating, developing social and individualized components of
learning is quite vital. Creating an online teaching presence shows your students that you
care about them and their learning, which has been demonstrated to improve their
motivation and learning. Teacher presence has three main elements, which are:

 Creating, preparing, and organizing a learning environment;

 Being visible and accessible—establishing a social presence and online persona; and

 Being involved in the learning process – acting as a guide, teacher, or facilitator

The core is a link to the dynamic online learning environment, which contains a variety
of learning technologies to enhance the student experience. The following learning and
teaching activities are enabled by Learning Technologies:

 Communication

 Information and personalization are provided via enriching resources.

 Collaboration and evaluation, as well as

 Reflection
