Re-Visioning the Classroom at Algonquin: Share Your Thoughts
At Algonquin College, our focus on creating learner-driven, personalized learning experiences corresponds with a teaching approach that embraces active learning.
Our vision is to support active learning practices across all classroom types at Algonquin.
The goal of the Active Learning Classroom Strategy initiative is to incrementally evolve our formal learning spaces and offer classroom types that support various kinds of active learning activities – from interactive lecture to collaborative group interaction.
