New white paper discussing the benefits of active learning\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Active Learning \u2013 More to university life than a Study Desk<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I hear I forget, what I see I remember, what I do I understand\u201d<\/i>

As universities come under pressure from increased fees and online alternatives such as\u00a0MOOC\u2019s\u00a0<\/a>(Massively Open Online Courses), there is a growing need to make physical learning spaces<\/a> an engaging and enjoyable environment in which the most effective learning outcomes can be achieved. This means the end of just a study desk, and the introduction of\u00a0collaborative furniture<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Read our new White Paper outlining the case<\/a> for moving beyond the traditional lecture theatre and study desk to student-centred learning spaces<\/a>, where students are set tasks that actively engage them in finding solutions through a mixture of instruction, discussion and various team working<\/a> methodologies.<\/p>\n
