"One major factor that separates a passive learning experience from an active and engaging learning
experience, regardless of the medium, is the amount of interaction facilitators have with their students."
"The glue that binds quality content with active learning experiences are the teachers who make themselves available, give timely feedback, and
provide opportunities for students to take an active role in their own learning."
