The electronic classroom has no walls and sits in the middle of the first floor of the library. Designed with 6 rows of computers and 4 computers to a row, a fifth computer was added to each row in January 2001 for a total of 30 computers. Every two rows are back to back, so that the classroom is 3 double rows with walkways between the three. This arrangement was chosen to facilitate group work. However, it is not ideal for the rows whose backs are toward the teacher.
Display devices are two monitors connected to a computer.
There is some reflection on the monitors from the ceiling lights. But because students are working hands-on, I feel I can live with this. I have a portable whiteboard to write on when I need it. I typically teach from the ends of the rows. A schedule of classes is posted daily.
