Abstract

This article profiles the development of a sustainable, learning-rich room and provides student and faculty perspectives on its effectiveness.

Three faculty members were selected to use the classroom for instruction. Data was collected via student surveys and videos as well as faculty meetings, videos, surveys, and reports. Faculty made extensive use of the classroom infrastructure by employing a wide variety of active teaching methods. The success of the Learning Lab resulted has given administration new opportunities to explore innovative teaching through building learning rich classrooms.
