Abstract: Active learning (AL) instructional pedagogies involve collaborative activities that engage students in creating artifacts.Active Learning Classrooms (ALCs) are physical spaces designed to facilitate AL pedagogies.This study examined the artifacts produced within ALCs, which included physical affordances for collaboration and digital/analog technologies for sharing.By focusing on artifacts, the study analyzed the different practices that emerged based on the type of ALCs.Results showed that group-generated artifacts mediated within-group collaboration, regardless of ALC type.In high-tech ALCs that incorporate digital technologies, in addition, group artifacts mediated between-group interactions and generated new classroom practices including innovative AL pedagogical patterns and forms of communal knowledge building practices.
