Second EASL Room is in Full Swing

Auburn University's second EASL room has been open for business since the beginning of this term.  After two weeks of classes and some minor glitches, faculty and student responses have been very positive.

SCC EASL in action

The room, located in SCC118, holds 72 students at 12 tables with 6 students at each table.  Each table is connected to a Christie Brio Presentation system and a large monitor so that students can not only connect their own devices (laptops, Androids, iOS) to the monitor for sharing but also can use the digital white board that is part of the Brio system.
The instructor can choose to push content to all monitors at the same time or give students control over how they want to use their own monitor, and glassboards surround the spaces for additional writing spaces.
The classes taught in the room this term are Honors Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, Math Education, Physics in Music, Genomics, and a couple of upper level Biology courses.
One of the classes, the learning community of disease hunters, also participates in the ipad pilot, so all students have a university-owned ipad, making it much easier to get everyone comfortable with the technology in the room.
