Abstract
Users want learning environments that are flexible and that can promote active learning, classroom technology that can support the multiple devices to make it easier to facilitate student learning and a technological infrastructure that is reliable and robust. We will explore the steps that have been taken at NJIT to begin and design classrooms that can meet the rapidly evolving needs of our students and instructors. Presentation Content:
Two years ago NJIT's Teaching Learning and Technology (TLT) Committee made a change in how the university approached classroom redesign. This presentation will outline what changes were made and show the impact on recently renovated learning spaces.
One of the driving forces behind this change was the establishment a Learning Spaces subcommittee. This sub-committee contains representatives from the students, faculty and staff who are working with the architects and administrators to ensure that classroom/learning spaces meet our users' instructional/technological needs.
After conducting multiple focus groups three considerations were identified that needed to be addressed during the planning phases. These considerations are classroom technology (e.g. podiums, multiple interactive displays, Smartboards), classroom environment (e.g. flexible furniture, adequate student space, lighting/environmental controls) and technology infrastructure (e.g. power, wireless). Since the formation of this sub-committee we have been able to work with the architects to establish multiple redesigned classrooms that will now serve as the model for almost a dozen new learning spaces currently under construction. About the speakers: Blake Haggerty is the Director of the Technology Support Center (TSC) at NJIT. The TSC operates the IST Help Desk, Computer Maintenance Facility (CMF), all campus-wide public computing labs as well as provides Instructional Technology support for faculty. Joe Bonchi is the Assistant Director for Instructional Support Services and co-chair for the Classroom Redesign Sub-committee.
