In this section of this web site, we are focusing attention on the models, strategies and tools that professors use in their teaching practice. Although the lecture model of teaching still has its place, professors now have many other teaching models to choose from that promote active learning in the classroom, lab, and online environments.

For example, in this section you will find the following:
