Description
Summary:Many insitutitions have implemented degrees designed for academic cross-over (AKA portfolio programs), seminar courses that give students exposure to subjects outside their chosen major, and class projects designed to bring multiple academic majors together. Since many academic departments have been concentrated in their own buildings or portions of campus, bringing these disciplines into a shared facility is fairly new territory. In the past we have seen conference rooms, computer labs, woodshops, maker-spaces, and even active learning classrooms serving as project-based learning zones, but these rooms tend to fall into a single-use mode. [...]we are seeing that blended learning isn’t just for remote or commuter students, it’s critical for on-campus residents as well.
