Sandbox Experimental Space
In this 16-24 seat TLC Sandbox Experimental Space located in room G01 of Evansdale Library, instructors may test active learning furniture, technology, and many other instructional tools. In the room's standard "Box" layout, two large LCD monitors are the room's primary displays, with four secondary LCD monitors (one at each group of 4-6 seats). HDMI Mini DisplayPort connections are available at each student group's monitor for collaborating. The instructor can route their device, a student group's device, or any of the installed technology (e.g networked PC computer, streaming device) to the main displays, to all displays, or change monitor inputs individually as needed.
Other resources include personal/small-group whiteboards, mobile tables and chairs, and active sitting stools.
