Building Collaborative Environments For Learning and Extending Technology Skills

The rapid advance of technology has enabled students to use powerful technology both in and outside the classroom. But do students know how to use a specific technology? Can our learning spaces support it? Can it be integrated with other technologies to extend students' capabilities? This panel will focus on the development of four collaborative learning environments at Winona State's Math Achievement Center and Visual Media Studio and Oakland University's Library Information Commons and Student Technology Center. We'll provide a replicable roadmap for developing collaborative technology learning environments and highlight the many successes and challenges you may experience along the way.
