The rapid advancement of the Web - the ever-ready access, the capacity for storage, and the diverse and updated information - is capturing the imagination and interest of educators and challenging us to reconceptualize the way to teach our students who grew up with video games and MTV. The completely lecture-based approach must be reconsidered given its proven limitations for learning.

This workshop focused on designing course activities based on the practical knowledge gained from research in (1) characteristics of active learning; (2) problems-based learning; (3) a learning continuum as a student needs more or less in both guidance and exploration during any learning tasks. Concrete and practical examples developed and used in actual courses taught by the workshop leader will be presented and explained. There were dedicated time for Q&As, and one-to-one or one-to-small group discussions with the workshop leader.
