Active learning classrooms are gradually being added to buildings around campus, which is exciting news for those instructors who would like to explore teaching in a more collaborative learning environment instead of a traditional lecture hall. Space Management has designed three new spaces in Sterling Hall that will be available starting in Spring 2014 Each Sterling Hall Collaborative Learning Classroom (CLC) has six teaching and learning pods
(large tables with moveable seating).

Each CLC has an instructor station equipped with a document camera, DVD/VCR player, VGA & HDMI pullout laptop cables, and a control
system to select various displays. A ceiling-mounted video projector
is also available to display pod monitor content or a separate image from
the instructor station. There is one fixed chalkboard and ten portable marker boards per room. -
Each CLC pod has a large flat screen monitor. Each pod is equipped with one VGA and one HDMI pullout cable for connection to a laptop, which can be viewed on the pod monitor and, if desired, on all the other monitors and/or the ceiling projector.

obtain a passcode and key.
