The Shared Experiences Lab not only provides a space for collaborative, engaged learning, it was born from collaboration between TLT and University faculty. Input from those who would teach in the Lab led to a design that supports distance learning, video conferencing, blended learning, and active learning-based classes. What makes the Shared Experiences Lab uniquely capable of building connections that enrich the learning experience? The space is outfitted with three 180° web cameras that capture and broadcast activity in the entire room. This allows for faculty and students to connect with guest speakers, students at other universities, or anyone else around the world and engage with them in a meaningful way. A 75″ high definition display outfitted with Solstice, a wireless keyboard, a CLC classroom computer, and mobile whiteboards round out the features that create the Lab’s unique learning environment.
