Learn Innovative Teaching-Learning StrategiesActive Learning in Optics and Photonics (ALOP) is a hands-on
educator training program that SPIE supports.
ALOP workshops offer physics teachers the opportunity to
improve their conceptual understanding of optics and photonics,
and to foster the use of laboratory work and hands-on activities in
the classroom.
ALOP, conceived by the United Nations Educational, Scientifi c
and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), is also supported by SPIE,
the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), and the
National Academies of the USA.
Activities use simple and inexpensive materials, and materials that
can be fabricated locally, whenever possible.
The participants are each provided with a copy of the training
manual, and, after the workshop, basic equipment for the hands-
on activities are distributed for use in their own classrooms.
