  • 翻转课堂
  • 问题式学习
  • 以团队为基础的学习

打造创新学习空间

Traditional teaching methods are not the most effective way to prepare learners for the 21st century; employers demand knowledge workers with critical thinking, 解决问题, and communication skills that can help employees keep pace with changes in technology and information/knowledge. 有效地将这些技能融入课程, ACPHS has created three new classroom spaces that allow students to practice, discover, and collaborate on solving real-world problems while getting continuous feedback to enhance the learning process.

吉娜驻军, Pharm D, 药学实践系副教授, 还有詹妮弗·麦克维-戴奇, PhD, 创新学习中心的执行主任, met with Dr. Greg Dewey, 学院院长, to discuss the role of these new classroom spaces in meeting the needs of 21st 世纪学习者.

问:我怎样申请教室?

A:教室申请必须发给你的系主任.  The department chair will then gather all course requests and submit them to the registrar for scheduling.

问:一个房间里有多少块白板? 需要我帮他们安排吗? 他们已经准备好了吗? Do they move?  

A: There are five whiteboards that are wall-mounted between the seven monitors in each room.  每个房间也有两个双面便携式白板.

Q: What happens if the person before me moves all of the 70 seats around and I need the class set up in the standard pod configuration?

A:教室的布置将由教师负责. There will be three “preferred” layouts and there will be signage in the room which will diagram those layouts. 学生将被要求协助设置. Faculty members will be encouraged to communicate with their colleagues who are scheduled in the room prior to them and after them. 

问:科技如何支持活跃的教室?

A: The technology design of these spaces is intended to promote the active learning model, emphasizing small group work and ease of movement throughout the space. High quality displays and robust wireless network capabilities are built into each classroom. Given that these rooms do not employ the legacy Tandberg equipment in other spaces, video connections with any other global location will be made using internet-based tools such as Blackboard, Skype, etc.

问:教师可以使用哪些技术?

A: Faculty will have the ability to not only display content on large monitors at the front of the room, 还要将内容推送到每个团队表上可用的监视器. 尽管讲师被鼓励动起来, a camera will be trained on the podium area for recording and internet broadcast when necessary. Hands-on technology training will be provided to each faculty member assigned to an active classroom.

问:学生可以使用什么技术?

A: Student use of the room is intended to be almost completely wireless. Access to the network and the ability to cast content from one’s personal computer to a team table monitor will all be accomplished without the need for cables, adapters, etc.

问:房间可以用作俱乐部或组织、会议等吗.?

A: These rooms can be scheduled similar to other classrooms and lecture halls on campus, 通过会议室经理.  First priority will be given to class scheduling by the Registrar’s Office.

问:我如何在其中一个房间安排一个事件、活动或会议?

A: Faculty and Staff will be able to schedule these rooms for educational and/or co-curricular activities 通过会议室经理. 当这些房间没有预定时,请联系会议室经理, 学生可以像使用普林斯顿教室一样使用它们, 教职员工.
