| Overview: |
This is a video case story of an effort at the University of Missouri, St. Louis to re-imagine the learning space for English classes. It is part of a series entitled "Reimagining Learning Spaces." The teachers created a Learning Studio which integrated current technology with classroom design that facilitated the use of technology more efficiently than traditional classrooms could. Along with the classroom re-design, the courses were re-designed as well, to take advantage of the technology available to the teachers. In this way, the faculty provided a more "real-world" atmosphere in which the students could work. The facilitation of technology in these classrooms is similar to that which the students might find in the business world. |
