Welcome to ABLConnect
The Active and Activity-Based Learning Connection
ABLConnect is a PEBLSS initiative
ABLConnect is a teaching resource database. We compile active learning strategies from Harvard faculty and teaching fellows, so that you can use them in your classes.
Our activities:

So, what types of teaching do we support?
Active learning is any type of learning that is interactive.
Activity-based learning involves fieldwork, public service, community-based research and internships in conjunction with in-class work.
What we do not cover (at least now):
- Lectures
- Lectures with basic class questions- Discussion sections with standard open questions
If your activity is unusual or interactive in any way at all, it probably qualifies.
Share your activities!
