First-year students in Robert Debski's Polish class are viewing Movie Watcher video clips made by more advanced students at Stanford, and then inventing their own dialogues. Student-created Web pages are also being developed. The Flex Class-Lab admirably supports these individual and group projects which require file servers, PowerBooks, and projection equipment for collaboration on and sharing of creative work. There has been great interest in the Flexible Class-Lab since its official opening in January. Over fifty Universities have requested information and there have been several news reports.
Many schools report that they are planning similar classrooms.
Reports on the design and use of the room are available from the Classroom Technologies Web Site . Faculty are already developing proposals for holding classes in the Flexible Class-Lab next year. If you are interested in reserving the room, please fill out the online form .
