Centers or Classrooms for Instructional Delivery
Integrated Learning Center (ILC)
The ILC
provides an environment for teaching and learning unique on our campus.
It opened for a full schedule of classes in the spring semester of 2002.
Perhaps most significantly, the Learning Center provides for the
integration of students, instructors, advising, technology, and
librarians in a resource-rich environment. Classrooms, study
facilities, freshman advising and the library are all connected through
the Learning Center and equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
The Communication Collaboratory
The Center for the Management of Information (CMI) and the Department of
Communication have teamed up to investigate how technology and the
design of collaborative space can affect learning. The collaboratory can
be connected to any of CMI's facilities to investigate such issues as
social group identification and its impact on conflict. Students analyze
their own communication behavior after interacting as a group. The
Communication Collaboratory is designed to promote student-centered
interaction in the classroom.
The Center for the Management of Information (CMI)
Through its research in
collaborative technology, CMI is furthering the art and science of
collaboration, and redefining the way people do their work. CMI develops
the technology and applies advanced knowledge of group processes,
enabling private and public sector work groups to conduct teamwork
around the clock and around the globe.
Center for Instructional and Faculty Development/Facility for Multi-Media Production
Learning Technologies Center
The Learning Technologies Center is a production environment for faculty to discover and
explore new ideas, acquire new skills and create classroom materials.
The Learning Technology Partnership,
working through the FCII and the extensive resources of each member
unit, provides a coordinated support infrastructure. Collaborative
efforts between faculty and Partnership members result in scalable
solutions for today's teaching dilemmas that extend the principles and
practices of good teaching.
