Active learning occurs when an instructor engages with students and facilitates their engagement with each other to learn course content, solve problems, collaborate on creations, discuss readings, and write and receive feedback from both the instructor and peers. UToledo provides classrooms designed to allow students to collaborate with each other, share work in progress, get rapid feedback on that work, and provide instructors with access to all parts of the classroom. Learn from fellow faculty members how to use these spaces to strengthen learning and boost student engagement.
