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.

So, I pitched the idea of a live tableau and James [the module leader] was on board."
