We are excited to announce that you will have the opportunity to check out some innovative active learning spaces in the NS building during plenary. These spaces are being setup for just 2 days so our faculty can check out the products and provide feedback.
- BKM/Steelcase will be creating three different spaces in the NS Building which demonstrate an active learning ecosystem where Every Space is a Learning Space.
- BKM/Steelcase representatives will be in all three spaces to answer questions and demonstrate the technologies on Thursday from 9am – 8:30pm and Friday from 8am – 4pm.
- The three spaces and the location of each are as follows:
- An Active Learning Lab (NS-358) – a classroom designed for faculty who want to flip their classroom, engage in project based learning, or focus the majority of class time on group work.
- Teaching-Learning Pods (NS-147) – outside of classroom “third” space where faculty can meet and work with students and students can congregate to work on group projects, form small study groups or work independently.
- An Instructional Planning Lab (NS-146)– this space is designed for faculty to practice with the active learning resources that would be available in the Active Learning Labs and Teaching-Learning Pods. The space allows for faculty to develop lesson plans and strategies for their classes; to congregate to discuss pedagogy and active learning strategies; and to use technologies for online classes.
Please let us know your thoughts regarding your perfect classroom and whether you liked the steelcase learning spaces!
