It is time to review the schedule for the placement of your session in the AAACE Agenda. This is the final draft of the Schedule. When you look up your name, use the detail listing to check what days/times you asked to be placed. This is a huge program and we can accommodate necessary changes in day and time now, but may not be able to do so after September 1, 2013 except in emergencies. Please carefully check your placement and send any requests to Ginger Phillips, AAACE Conference Planner with AAACE Session Change Request in the subject line. We will respond to your email, but it may take us up to a week to do so. Thanks for your help in "fine tuning" this agenda!
Concurrent
This session will present an innovative design for active learning college classrooms enhanced by technology, the internal and external collaborations and partnerships needed for success, and student learning outcomes.
Instructors and administrators who are interested in learning about Technology Enhanced Active Learning (TEAL) classrooms, the internal and external partnerships and collaborations needed to effectively design, construct, and create successful teaching and learning in these rooms, and the outcomes on student success. These classrooms are an innovative architectural design of classroom space in colleges based upon research on learning and use technology as a major pedagogical tool.
Participants will be able take back to their own environments knowledge about this innovative design of classrooms, the internal and external partnerships and collaborations that are needed to effectively build and create success in these classrooms, best-practice pedagogies to use in the rooms, and the outcomes on student learning and success.
Literature in recent years describes the benefits of collaborative, team, and active learning environments. However, a typical college classroom consists of chairs and desks in isolated rows, sometimes bolted to the floor, and the instructor well positioned at the front of the room for lecture. In recent years, several universities, such the University of Minnesota and North Carolina State University, have created a more active design in the physical space of college classrooms that also incorporates the use of technology and had positive student learning outcomes. During 2013, Montana State University redesigned two classrooms into Technology Enhanced Active Learning (TEAL) classrooms. This presentation will describe the design of these learning spaces as well as the internal and external collaborations and partnerships that occurred among experts, institutional stakeholders, administrators, faculty, and students during the project. Student learning outcomes will be reported as well.
