Concept lab - minnesota uni - learning space

Source = educause podcast

The concept lab consists of 9 seater tables with docking stations for 3 computers [students bring their own]. Each table has a display screen that can easily switch between the 3 machines, the tutor can switch these to showing one student machine to all displays.

The interesting thing about this room for mwe is the scale - 117 students. at a smaller scale the same intervention could us flipchart paper and pens. At this large scale , showing everyone one teams work is impossible.

There is a risk that students don't bring their own laptops. Minnesota mentioned they had a stand by set.
