Multi-sensory teaching approach includes sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, and motion. Since the learning is connected at different levels, it makes it easier to retrieve the information. Using the multi-sensory teaching allows the teacher to include different learning styles such as visual , auditory , and tactile . In collaborative learning , a group of two to four students work together as a team where each member participates and contributes. This type of learning helps students to build a sense of community while improving social and teamwork skills.
Employers look for employees who can work well with teams on projects.
Collaborative learning helps students to build these work skills. As more people begin to work at home, I feel that virtual collaborative work will become a popular way to doing group projects. Through threaded discussions, chats, and emails the science cohort will get to experience virtual collaborative learning. Studies indicate that students gain a better understanding and retention rate through active learning. It involves the students doing something and thinking about it.
