Planning for the Wired, Flexible and Smart: The Technology-Enabled Classroom

Presenter(s): S. Faruq Ahmed and David C. Madeira, Burt Hill Kosar Rittelmann Associates
Convener: Dick Jensen, University of California, Santa Cruz

Integrating technology into the built campus is more than pulling wires and hooking up computers and TV monitors. The process requires the investigation of academic, resource, and facility planning issues before the quantity and the type of technology can be decided. This session examines space planning and the appropriate metrics, classroom flexibility versus multi-venue, the correlation between technology, pedagogy, and architecture, and will provide attendees with a basic understanding of available technologies and square-foot classroom cost summaries. This session has been presented to the Council of Independent College Technology Council, EDUCAUSE, and the Council of Independent Colleges presidents' conference.

This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-sixth annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–36, in Boston, MA (USA), in July of 2001.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–36 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP-36, our digital archives of SCUP-36 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
