The Active Learning Spaces form an integral part of our collection of educational spaces. They therefore do not have a separate booking system. If you want to use (one of the) rooms, you can request them with the scheduling team via Datanose, in your scheduling preconditions, or via rooster-science@uva.nl.

Check the overview below to see which rooms offer which features, and find out which Active Learning Space best suits your teaching.

In the SP 904 A-wing:

Three rooms are specially set up for group work and active teaching methods; A1.18, A1.24 and A1.28. The smaller classrooms in the A-wing, A1.04-A1.14, are equipped with flexible lightweight furniture to allow variation in the room set-up, and space for students and teachers to interact. A1.22 is a equipped for hybrid teaching as well as small group-trainings or project work.

In the G-building:

Three rooms are specially furnished for active teaching methods during pilot project Future Learning Spaces: G0.18a and b, and G0.23/25. These rooms now offer modern features such as height adjustable tables, folding tables, a choice of seating options, LCD screens for each group, and mobile white/posterboards. Here, each team of students can have their own project space within the room.

Check the table below for an overview of the types of furniture set-up or shape, collaboration tools (p.a. mobile-, wall- or mini-whiteboards; group screens for students) or recording options, and for a quick link to a 360 degree image of the room.

NB: In general, the larger Active Learning Spaces do not have chalkboards. You can find chalkboards in A1.04, A1.06, A1.10, A1.11 and A1.14.
