About the Space

Designed to support student learning by providing a space for instructors to explore and experiment with active learning pedagogy, the space is flexible and includes a variety of features to encourage participatory learning in a welcoming environment and active collaboration between students and instructors.

Located in KHW-57, the classroom was designed to incorporate the learning space design values developed by the Teaching & Learning Spaces Working Group and to reflect the Indigenous design principles identified through the Indigenous Community Consultations. The classroom intentionally supports the wellbeing of all users through the use of elements such as tunable white lighting, accessible furniture, and the incorporation of Indigenous art.

The ALC can also be booked for events, subject to availability.

Booking the Active Learning Classroom

The ALC is best suited for classes and events that involve high levels of participation, collaboration and creative engagement, and is not appropriate for traditional lecture-style formats. It is ideal for courses incorporating Indigenous pedagogies.

The room’s capacity is limited to 52 persons, including instructional and support staff. Only courses with a cap of 50 students or fewer will be considered. The ALC is also in high-demand, and not all requests can be accommodated. It is recommended that you submit your request early and include as much detail as possible.

The Active Learning Classroom project is supported by the Teaching & Learning Spaces Working Group, the Centre for Excellence in Learning & Teaching, and Facilities Management & Development. Learn more about Classrooms at TMU.
