Kings academics inspired by Horizons Change Makers active learning
Camilla Audia and James Porter describe the success of their learning experiment following the active learning techniques used in a Horizons module.
Inspired by the innovative teaching on Horizons Global Challenges 2018-19 module The World Today, a group of academics at King's College London recently embarked on a learning experiment with their class of Master's students. Their reflections on the session can now be found on Change Makers blog http://livelovelearn.education.
