Classroom Types at Carleton<\/h2>\n

Learning Spaces at Carleton University fit into six types. These room types describe the room’s overall structure and design, as well as the broader intended pedagogical purpose. Click on each room type below to see a listing of all rooms that match that type.<\/p>\n

Standard Classroom<\/h4>\n

Standard Classrooms<\/a> are midsize classrooms that can accommodate a variety of class types (such as lectures or seminar discussions). Some designated HyFlex and larger Seminar rooms fall into this category.<\/p>\n

Lecture Hall<\/h4>\n

A Lecture Hall<\/a> is a theatre room designed to hold many students for classes that are largely focused on the professor teaching, rather than a more discussion-style course. These rooms are typically used for first-year and second-year courses.<\/p>\n

Seminar\/Breakout Room<\/h4>\n

A Seminar Room<\/a> is a smaller classroom for discussion-orientated classes where the instructor or teaching assistant encourages lots of student participation.<\/p>\n

Active Learning Room<\/span><\/h4>\n

Active Learning Rooms<\/a> are rooms with movable furniture and the ability to have small breakout discussions within<\/span> the same room.<\/p>\n

Computer Lab<\/h4>\n

Computer Labs<\/a> are midsized classrooms with numerous computers for students to use, typically meant for classes where specific software is necessary (such as quantitative research), but can also function with lectures and seminars that do not require<\/em> computer usage.<\/p>\n

HyFlex<\/h4>\n

The Hybrid\/Flexible (HyFlex<\/a>) is a mode of teaching meant to facilitate student learning, whether they are present in-person or joining remotely. HyFlex rooms are designed with additional equipment to allow the instructor to run class both to the students in the room, and to either live-stream the class to students joining via Zoom, or to record the lectures and make them available online asynchronously.<\/span><\/p>\n

Room Equipment<\/h2>\n

Most rooms at Carleton will have some variation on this basic set of equipment:<\/p>\n
