The document discusses a learning table project at Great Southern TAFE in 2008 that aimed to make teaching more engaging for students by taking repetition out of lessons and incorporating technology like RFID and digital microscopes. The project faced challenges but resulted in improvements to student learning and engagement as evaluated after implementing the new approaches and technologies.
