Brainstorming: A method to quickly generate ideas while postponing judgment.
It spurs on creativity and provides good starting points for discussion.
Or it is a group or individual creativity technique by which efforts are made to find a conclusion for a specific problem by gathering a list of ideas spontaneously contributed by its member(s).
Role play: A method, popular with some, to practice clinical skills.
Learners take on different roles for playing through a clinical scenario.
Usually there is an opportunity to call "time out" which stops the role play for reflection and discussion.
The latter is really vital for realizing the benefits of this educational technique.
So, this learning activity will give the student an opportunity to assume a role in order to practice a variety of skills.
While Educational games: Since learning should be fun, teachers may incorporate games to provide information or assess competence in a more interesting fashion (e.g., Medical Jeopardy, SimHealth).
The importance here is to make the bridge between the game and the serious learning content that is to be mastered.
However, educational games can be Individual or group games that have cognitive, social, behavioral, and/or emotional, etc., dimensions which are related to educational objectives.

Revit vs. AutoCAD. ... The main difference is that AutoCAD is primarily a drafting tool to create basic geometry that represents real life, while Revit is used to create geometry that's equipped with real-life information, hence the term building information modeling, or BIM.
