Active learning generally involves students directly participating in the learning
process, rather than just passively listening to a lecture or reading a text. Typically,
these strategies involve students working together during class, but may also involve
individual work and/or reflection.  TRAILS uses several types of active learning methods
such as team-based learning (TBL), a version of problem-based learning called Inquiry
Cases (IQ), and other large group formats like just-in-time-teaching (JiTT) and peer
instruction.
