Burden for active learning is not entirely on the learners, training programs must be active by design through [[tools for active learning]]. Advantages of active learning: - challenge: required for learners to move through [[four stages of competency]] - confirmation: evidence of knowledge, skills and abilities gained through learning process - feedback: reinforces what learners are doing well and help them improve what they haven't mastered - ## Sources [[Instructional Design Adult Learners - Toister]]
