This will allow you to engage your students during your classes and to understand the learning process.
To make your classes even more exciting and effective, you will learn how to use Kolb's learning style and Content Challenges Activity Feedback (CCAF). The course involves practical and simple use of technology for a teacher. Use of the interactive methods will extinguish engagement, collaboration, and motivation in learning in the lecture halls. This course will enable academic teachers to have the opportunity to shift traditional passive lecture sessions into a more holistic learning environment, which would be more satisfactory both for students and a teacher.
The lecturer, in the interactive lesson is no longer in the spotligth, s/he shifts from passive lectures into more holistic teaching, and students gather data through all senses, actively process and remember critical information, and think independently.
