How to implement hands-on learning while on-line?

Categories:

October 16, 2012

People, and children in particular, learn best by doing, that is hands-on activities that reinforce and integrate knowledge. “Learning in place” (e.g. how to engineer bridges by visiting, discussing, climbing or building real bridges) has also been shown to greatly improve learning and make it long-lasting. So, how does one implement these kinds of learning in on-line courses/pedigogy? Thanks Jeri
