Towards a sustainable active virtual learning model

Abstract

Although substantial research has been dedicated to refining active learning in recent years, minor improvements have been made to its development within the virtual environment oriented towards sustainability. Few information theorists and practitioners would argue the necessity of the metacognitive evolution of training processes performed via telecollaboration. These problems can be solved by using Active Learning Methodologies and Cooperative approaches. Our research examines the Sustainable Active Virtual Learning or SAVL model, which combines relevant social, academic, competential and sustainable development factors. We analyse four case studies` outcomes accomplished through inter-university virtual collaboration; each followed a different final task engagement (case study 1 portfolio, case study 2 video, case study 3 pre- sentation and case study 4 poster). The study showed that virtual collaboration might be leveraged to build creative learning environments, allowing more cost-effective university training options. Given the current growth of internet-based educational exchanges, instructors and students will appreciate the suggested model. The proposed model application for enhancing online interactions helps overcome such challenges as schedules or grading systems and boosts learning motivation and purposefulness.
