卓越教学中心 manages several innovative classroom spaces, 包括一个教学创新实验室, 主动学习型课堂, 还有两间技术教室. We give preference to full-semester reservations, but instructors can also email centerforteaching@uc1112.com 查询特定日期的预订.
卓越教学中心 is home to a Teaching Innovation Lab (O'Neill 246A) that showcases current trends in 主动学习型课堂 design and teaching technologies. The furniture can be easily reconfigured to accommodate work in groups, and the room is equipped with dual-camera lecture capture, 室内电话会议, 还有很多其他的功能.
教师 have been impressed with the Innovation Lab’s capabilities. One instructor who used the space to facilitate opportunities for international graduate students to practice conference presentations and job talks shared that “in course evaluations, students mentioned the experience as a highlight of the semester.” Another faculty member described the room as “invaluable” to students in her marketing course, in which students completed a semester-long research project. The students use the Innovation Lab to conduct focus groups to gather data for their projects, where the flexibility of its various space configurations “is perfect for what the students need to accomplish, and over the years it has enabled the students to collect high-quality research data.”
教师 members are invited to utilize this space on a limited basis to try out new pedagogical ideas. Unlike the other classrooms that the CTE manages, 然而, this room is not available for semester-long booking. To inquire about booking the Teaching Innovation Lab, 请 contact centerforteaching@uc1112.com.
奥尼尔246年, CTE的主动学习课堂(ALC), provides faculty and students with an innovative space to explore engaging and inclusive approaches to learning. 教师 who teach in the ALC also play a key role in contributing to the CTE's research into the effective use of classroom space and active learning pedagogies.
配备灵活的座椅, 协作技术, 以及广阔的白板空间, the ALC invites faculty to experiment with learning-centered pedagogies and invites students to be active participants in their own learning. Learn more about the ALC's technology and potential configurations below or by visiting the BC课堂概况奥尼尔246.

The Active Learning Classroom may be configured in several different arrangements. The standard layout is the standard boardroom layout, which provides opportunity for group discussion and interactive learning. The faculty member may stand at the board, lecture at the podium, or sit with students at the table. 学生 may also break out into pods to work in groups between larger class discussions at the boardroom table.

The pod setup allows for students to engage in group work and larger class discussions simultaneously.

The exam configuration discourages student interaction. 学生们彼此斜着坐着, with the faculty member at a separate station at either the front or back of the room. For limited distraction, monitors and projection can be turned off on all screens.
CTE管理奥尼尔245, which is a 电脑教室 with 21 student PC laptops available for semester-long courses. 教师 or staff members can also request ad-hoc bookings of classrooms, with the understanding that the requester will be responsible for overseeing the use of the computer classroom. All requests for O’Neill 245 should be for the use of the computers in the room. Courses requiring specialized software will be given first priority when scheduling for an entire semester. Once all specialized software users have been placed, we will attempt to accommodate the remaining requests or suggest possible alternatives.
Specialized software falls into one of the following three categories:
- 统计/建模(e.g. SPSS, HLM, Stata, Arc GIS)
- 视频编辑(e).g. Adobe Premiere)
- 平面/网页设计 & 编程(e.g. Adobe Creative Suite)
Anything that does not fall into one of the above categories is considered non-specialized software.
Learn more about the classroom's equipment and furniture by visiting the BC课堂简介O'Neill 245.
