Increase Active Engagement

Increase Active Engagement

Research shows that active engagement with concepts yields a higher impact on learning than passive engagement alone. When students simply read about a subject, their ability to comprehend and remember the key takeaways is limited. When students can read a little, then do a little, they are better equipped to both understand and remember what they're learning.

The active learning tools in Revel help students engage in real time with the key concepts they’re learning about.

  • Media interactives — including drag-and-drop matching activities and interactive maps, among other options — are integrated throughout each Revel module, enabling students to engage actively with concepts without breaking stride in their reading.
  • Writing activities encourage students to think constructively about important concepts, which boosts engagement and understanding. Self-paced journaling prompts, assignable shared writing activities, and essays foster the development of concept mastery and critical thinking skills.

These active learning tools help learners to grasp information more deeply than they would through reading static text alone.

Note: The active learning tools in Revel vary across titles and disciplines, depending on the needs of learners.
