Active Learning Classrooms

At the University of Groningen, there are...

  • 21 Active Learning Classrooms
  • 14 Buildings with ALCs
  • 878+ Total seats in ALCs

Our university wants to support and stimulate active learning. To facilitate this, we have Active Learning Classrooms (ALCs). The ALC's are located in several buildings of our university. The ALC's are available for every teacher.

I want to visit an ALC

Do you need hands-on explanation about the Active Learning Classrooms? Book an ALC demo session! These are short demonstrations of approximately 30 minutes in one of the ALCs, in which the following topics are discussed:

  • The use of the flexible furniture;
  • Possible set-ups of the room(s);
  • Using the Airtame software to stream.

The demo sessions take place on request. You can sign up for a demo by contacting the ALC project team.

The availability of the ALCs can be checked via the RUG's digital schedule by selecting 'location' and using the search term 'ALC'.

I want to be trained in active learning

The Educational Support & Innovation (ESI) department has developed the MicroLab Active Learning Classrooms. This is a practical training in which three things are central:

  1. The theoretical background of active learning;
  2. Applying active learning activities in your own course design;
  3. Performing active learning activities in an ALC.
