Online instructors should incorporate three to five active learning strategies into their courses, aligning them with the learning objectives to create a natural and seamless learning experience for students. They should also proactively engage students, maintaining instructor presence to increase motivation. Additionally, instructors should communicate periodically with students, provide incremental deadlines, and explore "reverse instruction" and the "flipped classroom" to enhance active learning in online education, using students' familiarity with mobile technology for a more engaging experience.
