Active learning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Active learning, as the name suggests, is a process whereby learners are actively engaged in the learning process, rather than "passively" absorbing lectures. Active learning involves reading, writing, discussion, and engagement in solving problems, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Active learning is also known as cooperative learning
Philosophy.
A few years ago I was unable to work for nearly a year due to injury. To pass the time I attended a number of public lectures run by the politics department at Portsmouth University. In 2005 I realised that I could do something positive to promote these kind of events, which are often sadly under-attended. It's taken me a few months to put this site together, but I hope it will encourage many more people to enjoy the world of public education.
This site is intended only to promote seminars, lectures, conferences, exhibitions and debates that are free or have a very low attendance charge - please do not submit events that have anything more than a nominal price to attend.
