Anchored instruction
Anchored instruction is to help students become more actively engaged in their learning. The instructor is to pose a complex, realistic problems that the students can use technology to solve. The students take ownership in this anchored instruction because they can relate to the problem. Students are to play an uthetic role to the problem. The following website gave the example of giving a "Student the role of a pilot to learn about aeronatics subject matter such as gravity, airflow, weather conepts, and basic flight dynamics."
