Active learning requires interaction and appropriate feedback from the student audience who should be receptive to receiving the intended message of the lesson.
Contemporary active learning is in direct competition with social media distractions and the incumbent misinformation that dominates the attention of today's students and is, in itself, a profound obstacle.
We, as instructors, are duty bound to create appropriate learning atmospheres which would serve to attract the student to the e-classroom and distract the student from the siren song allure of the disinformation present in the electronic media of today.
