Active Learning Framework
Our Active Learning Framework (ALF) places student experience at its core. ALF integrates the best use of our on-campus learning spaces with student-focused online content that’s accessible anytime, anywhere.
ALF represents a teaching and learning approach that fosters a strong sense of belonging for students. Developed by the University’s staff, ALF is supported by a group of ALF champions, who guide and encourage colleagues with their teaching approach.
ALF is designed to be flexible, accessible and inclusive - just like everything we do at Wrexham University, it puts our students’ experience right at its heart.
Our blended learning approach
Our Active Learning Framework combines the best of our on-campus learning spaces with flexible online learning content, ensuring that students can learn and engage whenever and wherever they choose. ALF is more than just a framework; it’s a student-centred approach to education that brings the best out of teaching and learning approaches.

“The lectures have been really engaging despite being remote, and we’ve had exceptional support, and heaps of content online. Additionally, my department had been holding plenty of remote events for us all to stay connected. The fact that the library is still available for use gives me a peaceful academic space to study in too.”
“As someone who is doing a part time teaching course, full time employment and being a student ambassador, whilst also being a father, blended learning accepts you for your real life. The support is there, I found that I have been able to have helpful, quick conversations with my lecturers as blended learning provides that extra time.”
“I’m in awe of how quickly and effectively the lecturers adapted to the new teaching methods. I have missed face to face time with lecturers and fellow students but we’ve been finding ways to keep in touch and support each other. There’s a great community at the university that is still there regardless of lockdowns. I hope the change towards more online learning remains. It has given people more time and flexibility to fit busy home lives around their course. Plus less traffic on the roads.”
“It's opened up a whole host of opportunities. We've had lecturers being able to present from their studios at home, files are being shared so much easier, and we're able to have breakaway groups for discussion.”
