なぜ最近アクティブラーニングという言葉が出てきたのでしょうか？

本ワークショップでは、アクティブラーニングを正しく理解するための知識を学びます。

また、実際に自分の授業で実践するため、具体的な教育技法や学習デザイン方法を学びます。

This is Day 1 of a two-day course: February 26, 16:00 - 17:00

Speaker: Prof. Dan Chavas, Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Purdue University

Presenter: Mr. Shohei Takaoka

Supervisor: Professor Tadashi Yamamoto

Co-Supervisor: Professor Hiroaki Kitano

Algebraic Topology is a classical branch of mathematics. Its origins are combinatorial, based on triangulations of topological spaces. In the later developments major algebraization of the subject has taken place, leading to the introduction of many algebraic invariants as we know them today.

​The Mini Course will be taught by Dmitry Feichtner-Kozlov, PI of the Applied Topology Unit. His unit is interested both in developing the formal theory, as well as in applying it outside of the field, for example to Theoretical Distributed Computing.
