Turn to Talk

Turn to Talk interactive classrooms offer the best of both worlds: eyes-front orientation for lectures and turn-around seating for small group interaction.

Turn to Talk is ideal for lecture-heavy content mixed with small group interaction.

Turn to Talk rooms feature two rows per tier allowing students to comfortably turn in their chairs and work with the row directly behind them. Faculty or TAs can move easily between the rows and aisles to offer feedback.

Turn to Talk rooms support a variety of teaching and learning strategies but are ideal for balancing lecture-heavy content with small group discussions, practice problems, team challenges, and group projects.
