Welcome to the active learning blog site.  As time goes on – take a look around, as I expand my thoughts on how to assist in active learning.  This is a hot topic in academia, and is the theoretical base for many people teaching in higher education.  I start with one of my favorite quotes:

Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher.
