Active learning is a form of learning in which teaching strives to involve students in the learning

process more directly than in other methods. Bonwell and Eison state "that in active learning,
students participate in the process and students participate when they are doing something
besides passively listening."
Collaborative learning is a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn
something together. Unlike individual learning, people engaged in collaborative learning
capitalize on one another's resources and skills.
Inquiry-based learning is a form of active learning that starts by posing questions, problems or
scenarios. It contrasts with traditional education, which generally relies on the teacher presenting
facts and his or her knowledge about the subject.

Problem-based learning is a student-centered pedagogy in which students learn about a subject
through the experience of solving an open-ended problem found in trigger material
Peer-led team learning (PLTL) is a model of teaching undergraduate science, math, and
engineering courses that introduces peer-led workshops as an integral part of a course. Students
who have done well in a course (for instance, General Chemistry) are recruited to become peer-
leaders. The peer-leaders meet with small groups of six to ten students each week, for one to
two hours, to discuss, debate, and engage in problem solving related to the course material.

Team-based learning is a collaborative learning and teaching strategy that enables people to
follow a structured process to enhance student engagement and the quality of student or trainee
learning.
Peer instruction is an evidence-based, interactive teaching method popularized by Harvard
Professor Eric Mazur in the early 1990s.

Just-in-time learning is an approach to individual or organizational learning and development that

promotes need-related training be readily available exactly when and how it is needed by the
learner.
Small group learning is an educational approach that focuses on individuals learning in small
groups and is distinguished from learning climate and organizational learning. It can take the
form of a classroom-based training through experiential learning activities such as case study
analysis, role plays, games, simulations, and brainstorming, among others.
Project-based learning is a student-centered pedagogy that involves a dynamic classroom
approach in which it is believed that students acquire a deeper knowledge through active
exploration of real-world challenges and problems.
