The SCALE-UP Project has established a highly collaborative, hands-on, computer-rich, interactive learning environment for large-enrollment courses. Class time is spent primarily on hands-on activities, simulations, and interesting questions as well as hypothesis-driven labs
Technology Enhanced Active Learning Spaces
Active learning classrooms (ALCs) are spaces configured to maximize active, collaborative learning and multimodal teaching, in contrast with traditional lecture-style classrooms.
