Smart Board Collaboration Tools to Revolutionize Student Learning in the Large-Format Classroom

Description
Pierce, an associate teaching professor in finance, will use his project to reimagine teaching and learning in large classrooms by integrating smart board technology to enhance student collaboration and engagement. His project is influenced and inspired by David Kellerman’s use of the Microsoft Surface Hub 2S at the University of New South Wales.
“This project will improve course pedagogy by offering all students the opportunity to contribute to the board during daily discussions and the chance to participate in a dynamic, high-technology workspace,” said Pierce. “This emerging technology allows students to work in a space that is state-of-the art. It is a revolutionary breakthrough in the large format (up to 700 students) classroom educational space.”
In implementing this plan, TLT will create documentation to enable any faculty member to learn about these new teaching methods.
