Chapter 6. Activate learning
Exercises, practice sessions, and projects to ensure an active learning experience
Learning activities are the verbs of learning. They put people in action. They elevate learning from passive reading and watching to active seeking, selecting, and creatingknowledge. With well-designed learning activities, WBT can be fun, efficient, and highly effective.
Interactivity boosts learning. People learn faster and develop more positive attitudes when learning is interactive [94]. The adage, "Practice makes perfect" has support from many different studies of learning outcomes [95]. In general, people learn more effectively and efficiently when they decide how much to practice [96], especially learners with already high levels of knowledge [95].
