How would you like to teach
(or learn) in a classroom
like this one at MIT?

The purpose of this website is to share designs for state-of-the-art learning studios, teaching methods, and instructional materials that are based
on more than a decade of discipline-based education research. Visit our Frequently-Asked-Questions page to start, or take a look at a 4-minute movie where Minnesota students and faculty talk about their classroom.

As a visitor to the site, you can view classroom designs and find contact information for dozens of colleges and universities that are offering highly interactive, collaborative, guided-inquiry-based learning to their students.

If you are considering adopting this approach for your own instruction, ask to become a member of the site for access to many more details and instructional materials being developed and tested by faculty around the world.
