TEAL classroom with students
U of T Engineering recently unveiled a pilot Technology Enhanced Active Learning (TEAL) classroom. TEAL rooms offer an innovative new educational method that facilitates collaboration and hands-on learning, assisted by technology and strategic design.
Located in the Sandford Fleming building, the TEAL room features bright green chairs clustered around 12 hexagonal tables that are spread throughout the room. This layout – an alternative to the traditional lecture-style of all tables and chairs facing one podium – encourages collaboration amongst students. And thanks to wheels on all chairs and tables, the room can be as flexible as needed, quickly adjusting for exam or tutorial formats.
