Our Active Learning Classroom (ALC) is designed to support interactive and technology enhanced learning. It serves as an incubation space where faculty can implement and assess new teaching and learning ideas.
The classroom is capable of numerous configurations; with computer stations at each table and multiple wall-mounted screens. The purpose of the ALC is to offer active, engaged teaching and learning experiences in a collaborative environment.
For the last couple of months I've had a lot of trouble finding inspiration for my photography. I just haven't felt very creative. But tonight, as I watched my daughter practice her violin and saw the intensity and concentration on her face as she tried to make each note right, I knew I had to make a portrait of her.
The key light was a flash with 1/2 CTO gel through a 24 inch soft box, high camera left. I positioned a white reflector front camera right and used a gridded flash back camera right for a kicker. In post I added a modest 'S' curve adjustment and a vignette.

I’m practicing making lattes and want to be able to make cappuccinos as well but I can’t quite master the frothing technique nor the skill of pouring the espresso shot into the frothed milk properly so that I can create a lovely design. I have a long way to go to become proficient in these skills. This shot literally represents my learning curve.

These are the three levels of learning I try to address in my workshops on Design Management across Europe.
What I find most important is that beyond 'content learning' the levels of 'process' and 'social' are key levels for Design Managers who stand out.
The challenge for quite a few groups with this approach is to accept Social Media platforms like Ning as part of the experience.
In the end however the whole learning experience is being captured on one central hub and gives access to insights long after the classes have been finished.
On a mild night during Siem Reap's monsoon season, the voices of 30 children chanting in unison cuts through the sound of cicadas. A single tube light powered by a car battery illuminates the faces of happy and focused children.
Crowded together on the concrete floor between the wooden poles that hold up a traditional Cambodian stilt house, the children – all aged between 8 and 9 years old – work together to learn the basics of the English language, the key to better career prospects in this impoverished community in Cambodia.
The classes are taught by a remarkable volunteer teacher who is a student herself. Hoy Tot is 18 years old and about to start Grade 11 at her high school, one of many supported by Plan Cambodia in Siem Reap. As someone who has experienced the challenges of living with a disability (she was born with one arm), Hoy Tot says she was inspired by her high school English classes and was motivated to share her new knowledge with other disadvantaged children from her community.
