The Active Learning & Technology Community of Practice (AL&T CoP) welcomes faculty, staff, and graduate students interested in engaging tools and technological innovation for more interactive teaching and learning. The community explores the integration of software and hardware for both in-person and online classrooms, focusing on new platforms, best practices, and effective student engagement.
