The document discusses utilizing different classroom spaces in the WALC building for active learning. It summarizes three classroom types - Scale Up rooms, Mobile Tablet/Chair rooms, and Boiler Up rooms. Participants engage in activities in each room type to experience them as students. They discuss what activities can be done easier in these rooms compared to traditional classrooms. Participants also see benefits like wireless projection and different seating arrangements across room types. The document encourages learning more about Purdue's active learning classrooms and classroom response systems.
