Building Active Learning Classrooms with Networked A/V

Date: February 18, 2016
Time: 2:00 pm EST

An increasing number of colleges and universities are redesigning traditional lecture halls and classrooms into active learning classrooms, which are more flexible and open designs that better foster teamwork, collaboration and interactive instruction through a variety of engaging technologies. Historically it was necessary to build a dedicated networked A/V infrastructure that could enable the use of any multimedia technology. That is no longer the case as new technologies emerge that allow AV to be distributed over the traditional IP network.

Attend this web seminar to learn how the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center built new active learning spaces, including a flexible, collaborative, state-of-the-art Team Based Learning Center, by embracing AV over their traditional IP infrastructure.

Topics will include:

Keys to designing an active learning classroom
How networked A/V over traditional IT infrastructure enables flexibility and collaboration
The benefits and lessons learned from UT Southwestern Medical Center’s design

Speakers:

Christopher Faulkner, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Health Care Sciences and Research, Manager of Education Technology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

Who will benefit:

Higher ed administrators interested in audiovisual technology or classroom design. Anyone may attend.

Continuing Education Certification:
