Active learning

Active learning classrooms (ALCs) are student-centered, technology-rich classrooms. They are easily identified with their large 1 tables and movable seating designed to improve student 2 in class. Typically, each table is accompanied by a whiteboard and flat-screen monitor to display student work and larger rooms frequently have miniature bulb and microphones and at each table. In this way, students are able to 3 if they have questions or want to speak to the 4 room. ALCs provide the hands-on environment that has transformed old class from passive 5 to very active group design work.
