Collaborative Learning Environment in Rhodes Public Lab

Traditional computer labs are configured with rows of computers to support individual work, but technology uses have changed. KSC students asked for an environment where collaborative learning could take place, and Rhodes Public Lab has changed to meet those needs

While one side of Rhodes Public Lab still houses the permanent PCs students are used to seeing, the other half is now a place for students to gather and work together. Furniture can be configured into “pods” where groups of students can plug in laptops and display work on a wall monitor. Screens are available for students who want more privacy, and students can bring portable white boards to their workspace to share their ideas while brainstorming as a group.
