Hello - I am writing a proposal to renovate a traditional, fixed seating computer lab as a SCALE-UP style classroom suitable for teaching DH (among other things). What do you suggest for set up? Furniture, laptops, monitors, budget for software, etc. If anyone has a classroom and budget for a similar project, that would be especially helpful.
Thanks!
Caroline
The folks at University of Mary Washington just opened a shiny new building with lots of digital classroom space. You might be able to reach out to their Division of Teaching and Learning Technologies for ideas and what they budgeted.
We just renovated a physics lab into a SCALE-UP format room. I'll digitize our plans and send 'em along to your gmail, if that's ok.
I will say this: The thing that people talked about the most during planning was literally the tables: what was the right size and shape to accommodate group work; to allow for free-and-easy movement around the tables, including up-and-down to the ubiquitous walltalker writing surfaces, etc. That took a lot of effort.
It has been pretty cool, though.
