This page is your resource for links, papers, and other information about teaching and learning strategies for active and collaborative learning environments.
These environments are often referred to as TEAL (Technology Enhanced Active Learning), ALC (Active Learning Classroom) or SCALE-UP (Student-Centered Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies) classrooms.
