Active Learning Spaces

Abington has multiple active learning spaces to invigorate deeper and more complex learning across campus. Breaking from the traditional mold of standard lectures at the front of the room, our active learning spaces allow for more social interaction, movement, and collaboration for both the instructor and students. 

Active Learning Spaces include:

  • Multicolored, movable furniture easily arranged to fit any learning situation
  • Multiple mounted displays able to host simultaneous inputs from various sources, allowing both instructor and students to share content to the whole room
  • Mersive or other wireless smart board technology that allows for cordless visual sharing and live annotation of shared content

If you have any questions, want training, or are experiencing trouble in these rooms please contact our team by calling x7675, stopping by during normal business hours, or submitting a ticket.

Have a look at some of our learning spaces using this technology below. Our team always has plans to redesign and add more across the Abington Campus.

A brief look at some of the Active Learning Spaces on campus.
