Active Learning
Research project under the Intelligent Energy Europe programme
The project aim is to reduce energy use in school buildings and homes by teaching children efficient use of energy, RES and transport through hands-on and experimental activities. The project advocates that children can be important resources in their own education rather than passive receivers of information. The project developed an educational package on active learning (AL) and energy monitoring (EM) for use in primary schools. http://www.consortium4al.eu/project_summary.html
