Location: Mell Classroom Building @ RBD Library, 3550

Research conducted in 2007 at the University of Minnesota revealed that aligning course delivery with room configuration yields positive learning results. For instance, if your class plan calls for lecture, allowing students to quickly move the furniture into rows will be more beneficial for students than leaving desks in “pods”. In this workshop, we will explore ways to incorporate the active learning classroom space and layout into the class goals, assessments, and activities.


Participants in this workshop will:

  • Learn how to use active learning furniture strategically to achieve student learning outcomes that include and go beyond content.
  • Use a “Collaborative Learning Toolbox” to identify an appropriate collaborative learning approach for their course.
  • Solve a team-based learning challenge involving real world scenarios using skills and knowledge gained in the workshop.
  • The workshop will conclude with an opportunity to apply new tools to participants’ own courses.


Please note, this is part 3 of a 4-part workshop series. All are welcome.
