Active Learning Resources for Teaching in the Wilmeth Active Learning Center

Flexible Classrooms

Flexible classrooms will be furnished to support rapid user‐reconfiguration into face‐forward, face‐to‐face, horseshoe, or conference table layouts, using one of two furnishing options.
     -Mobile large‐form tablet arm chairs
     -2‐ or 3‐person 60” trapezoidal tables and mobile chairs. ‘Trap’ tables can be paired to create a 6‐ person hexagonal table.
Flexible classrooms will support dual images, either on projection screens or on large flat panel displays.
