Although we often focus on what the teacher is doing, there is good reason to pay most attention on what the student is doing.

It is widely agreed that students' learning outcomes can be significantly enhanced by employing techniques that involve active learning, rather than more passive methods. Knowledge transference still has a function, also in online teaching, for example in terms of online lectures, instructional videos and curriculum articles.

But most of the learning takes place through what the students do themselves. Online activities provides good opportunities for student active learning, where the students work both individually and together with other students. Her you can create learning processes including discussion, reflection, processing and production of learning materials.
