What is Active Learning?
Active learning 这个术语是用来分类那些通过使用积极的学习技巧使学生参与学习过程的教学方法吗. Students move beyond simply listening, watching, and taking notes to actively engage with course content and one another; activities may include writing, problem-solving, discussion, or presentation (Felder & Brent, 2009).
有许多教学方法，教师可以借鉴，以使学生积极参与课堂, including:
- Case-based instruction
- Collaborative learning
- Cooperative learning
- Flipped classroom
- Problem-based learning
- Team-based learning

Building Innovative Learning Spaces
传统的教学方法并不是让学习者为21世纪做好准备的最有效的方法st century; employers demand knowledge workers with critical thinking, problem-solving, 沟通技巧可以帮助员工跟上技术和信息/知识的变化. To effectively infuse these skills into the curriculum, ACPHS创建了三个新的教室空间，供学生练习, discover, 合作解决现实世界的问题，同时获得持续的反馈，以增强学习过程.
Gina Garrison, Pharm D, Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacy Practice, and Jennifer McVay-Dyche, PhD, Executive Director in the Center for Innovative Learning, met with Dr. Greg Dewey, President of the College, 讨论这些新教室空间在满足21世纪需求方面的作用st century learners.

Q: How do I request the classroom?
A: Classroom requests must be sent to your department chair. 系主任将收集所有课程申请，并将其提交给注册主任进行安排.
Q: How many whiteboards are available in a room? Do I have to set them up? Are they already set up? Do they move?
A:每个房间的七台显示器之间有五块白板挂在墙上. There are also two, double-sided portable whiteboards in each room.
问:如果在我前面的人移动了所有70个座位，而我需要将课堂设置在标准的吊舱配置中，会发生什么?
A: Room set-up will be the responsibility of the instructors. 将有三个“首选”布局，将有在房间里的标志，将图表这些布局. Students will be expected to assist in the set-up. 教师将被鼓励与在他们之前和之后安排在教室里的同事交流.
Q: How does technology support the active classrooms?
A:这些空间的技术设计是为了促进主动学习模式, emphasizing small group work and ease of movement throughout the space. 每个教室都内置了高质量的显示器和强大的无线网络功能. 考虑到这些房间没有在其他空间使用传统的Tandberg设备, 与全球任何其他地点的视频连接将使用基于互联网的工具，如Blackboard, Skype, etc.
Q: What technology is available to faculty?
答:教师不仅可以在教室前面的大显示器上显示内容, but to also push that content to monitors available at each team table. Although the lecturer is encouraged to move, 将在演讲台设置摄像机，必要时进行录像和网络直播. 将为分配到活跃课堂的每位教员提供实际操作技术培训.
Q: What technology is available to the student?
答:学生使用房间的目的是几乎完全无线化. 访问网络和将内容从个人计算机传送到团队桌面显示器的能力都将无需电缆即可完成, adapters, etc.
Q: Can rooms be used for clubs or organizations, meetings, etc.?
A:这些房间可以像校园里的其他教室和演讲厅一样安排, through Meeting Room Manager. 教务处将优先安排课程安排.
问:我如何在其中一个房间安排一个事件、活动或会议?
答:教职员工将能够通过会议室管理器安排这些房间进行教育和/或课外活动. When these rooms are not reserved in Meeting Room Manager, they can be used similarly to the Princeton Classrooms by students, faculty and staff.
