Recently HCT adopted the Learning by Doing slogan (LBD) to highlight its support for active learning strategies in all courses and programs of study. Support for activity centered learning is not new, deriving from Confucian ideals and underpinned by constructivist philosophies (Gergen, 1995, von Glaserfeld, 1995). Constructivist approaches to education encourage student- centered, active learning environments that Newman, Griffin, & Cole (1989) once described as a “construction zone”. LBD approaches help avoid the “catatonia” that can occur in passive learning teacher centered environments (Felder and Brent, 2003, p.282). HCT similarly supports active learning strategies stating that LBD, “is an approach to education where students acquire essential knowledge and skills through active, self-reflective engagement with the world inside the classroom and beyond” (2015). Obviously some courses are better suited for LBD than others depending on the subject matter with IT classes typically being good candidates due to their emphasis on building practical skills and knowledge.
