Abstract: This presentation showcases three state-of-the-art digital classrooms now available in the Department of History. Three existing classrooms were completely rebuilt as flexible, technology-rich learning spaces, following the principle of thoughtful integration that underpins the department’s digital strategy. The classrooms were the culmination of a design process that started in March of 2014 and that involved the Department of History, the Office of Physical Resources & Planning, Instructional Media Services, Academic Technology Group, and a number of external consultants including an architect, system integration specialists, a user interaction designer, and a programmer. Presented with Deborah Sears as part of the Expanding the Boundaries of Authorship series.
