The Active Learning Rooms
Imagine
attending a lecture in Buffalo Wild Wings. That's what it felt like
during the short talks portion of the SABER meeting. Presentations were
projected on many screens throughout the room so that regardless of
where an attendant was sitting, he/she could easily read the contents of
a slide. Additionally, everyone sat at round tables that were equipped
with microphones. Attendants would speak into the microphones and their
voices would resonate from speakers that were also strategically housed
all around the room. I'm
told that many classes at the University of Minnesota take place in
rooms like this one. Would this be thrilling or overwhelming to you?
