I've worked at the British Columbia Institute of Technology since 1997. I work in the Professional English Language Development program. Just today, I was in the computer lab while students were saving short answers using the lab's audio recording software. They moved their files to an institute-wide share-in drive. I then copied their answers over to the share-out drive so they could listen to their classmates' voices as homework via the Internet.
When not in the lab, our class takes place in a location where we can see the construction students framing large walls. On the way to the parking lot today, I stopped my phone's podcast long enough just to take this photo of these students learning new skills.
We still read textbooks and write papers, but I do like the hands-on approach used at the place I teach.
