Tips from the Pros: Promoting Active Learning with Quizlet

Promoting Active Learning with Quizlet
How best to engage students and provide opportunities for active learning is a question we find ourselves thinking about and discussing often with colleagues.

Instructors can use it to create their own study set or browse through and use existing study sets. Study sets consist of groups of questions presenting content that students have reviewed.
