Context
In traditional classrooms, one-way teaching limits student engagement and collaboration, hindering the development of vital digital literacy skills. The challenge is to transform this model with the Interactive Co-Learning Table, fostering dynamic, participatory learning and addressing the lack of interactive engagement in education.
Who Benefits?
The primary target group for the Interactive Co-Learning Table includes educators and students in traditional classroom settings. Teachers will benefit from a more dynamic teaching environment that encourages student participation and collaboration, fostering a sense of inclusivity and interactivity in lessons. Students, on the other hand, stand to gain significantly from enhanced engagement with course material and peer-to-peer collaboration, promoting deeper understanding and knowledge retention.
