Best Practices

Here you’ll find hundreds of practical applications of the On Course Learning and Instructional Principles. These applications can be used by educators across disciplines, even without their having yet attended an On Course Workshop. Each best practice uses an active learning structure and also has the purpose of empowering students to become active, responsible and successful learners. The majority of these best practices originally appeared in the On Course e-Newsletter. Many more learner-centered strategies are described in the Facilitator’s Manual for the On Course text. New ideas are added here frequently, so come back often.
