Active Learning Forum: A New Way to Learn is a film created for the Minerva Institute that tells the story of the impact that the Active Learning Forum has on student learning and professor instruction. We explore not only the depth and breadth of the platform tools, but also highlight the real relationships that develop both inside and outside the classroom. We also created a shorter version of the film.

About the Film
Minerva Schools is designed around a new vision of higher education founded upon decades of research into the science of learning. At the core of its approach to education is the Active Learning Forum (ALF) where the school’s rigorous pedagogy and innovative technology meet to create an advanced learning environment designed to facilitate face-to-face interaction between professors and classmates. This short film tells the story of three students and a professor as they come together on the platform during a typical seminar at Minerva.
