Technology-enhanced active learning, or TEAL, is a new method of teaching pioneered at MIT[1] as an alternative to the traditional style of lecture halls. It is currently in use at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, North Carolina State University, University of Colorado, Harvard University, and the University of Maryland.[2]

TEAL utilizes various technologies, such as interactive simulations, animations, and visualizations, to actively involve students in the learning process. This method has been shown to improve student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes, and to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By incorporating technology into the learning experience, TEAL helps to create a more dynamic and collaborative learning environment.
