More about our digital classrooms pilot

The Library has two digital classrooms for the 2017-18 academic year. They are pilot rooms, designed under the Future Learning Spaces project. This is a collaboration between Estates, UELT, Information Services and Timetabling.

The project supports the University Education and Student Experience Strategy 2016-2020. It is exploring innovative teaching space design including:

  • active learning
  • new audio-visual technology
  • innovative furniture and writing surfaces mobile device and BYOD (bring your own device) support lecture capture interactive voting systems.

How are they being used?

16 academics have taken the opportunity of teaching in the rooms, enabling them to understand the extended functionality and experiment with different teaching approaches.

At the end of the pilot, academics who have used the rooms will help us evaluate them. This will feed into teaching space provision.
