Active Learning Tip

  • Focused Listing – "Focused Listing directs students’ attention to a relevant term, name, or concept from a particular lesson or class session and asks them to list several ideas closely related to that focal point. It is helpful to quickly determine what learners recall as the essential points of a particular topic."
