Increasing Active Learning Among Students: NCCU’s Introduction of Virtual Computing Lab to grades K-12
By Shaneece DavisActive Learning
Active learning is a process where learning is jointly shared between the student and the teacher. Studies have proven that students who are actively engaged with the material
are more likely to recall information later and be able to use that information in different
contexts .

Student Feedback
“The best thing about VCL is just the fact that it has many
programs you can use that aren't usually available to students that
make your life easier."
“VCL gave me a chance to use programs that
helped me look at human genetics and
create my own virtual world."
“Before, I used to want to be a lawyer, but now I
think I should do something in graphic
design because I really like designing things."
