  • Reasons for Active Learning Classrooms:

     
     
    • Offers instructors another choice for teaching
     
    • Enables instructors to better interact with students
     
    • Furniture and technology set-up allow students to work in small groups of 3 students, which takes advantage of cooperative learning techniques and helps students form learning groups
     
    • Creates a cooperative learning environment that encourages students to collaborate with peers by questioning and teaching one another
     
    • Allows instructors to coach students during activities by assisting them in answering their own questions
     
    • Allows students to present their results to the class for review by peers and instructors

  • Reasons for Flexible Classrooms:

     
     
    • Flexible room design allows classrooms to keep pace with changing course requirements and pedagogy
     
     
     
     
     
     
    • flexibility in room size and capacity
     
    • flexibility in classroom technology
     
    • flexibility in furniture
     
     
     
     
     
     
    • Classrooms can be “flexed” on a semester-by-semester basis
     
    • Major classroom renovation costs can be avoided over the life cycle of the building
