By Cassandra Hendry<\/em><\/p>\n

Libraries are fast becoming places of innovative learning, and Carleton\u2019s is no exception.<\/p>\n

The Discovery Centre, a multimedia learning space on the fourth floor of MacOdrum Library, is home to media labs, presentation spaces, 3D printers and other technological tools for students and professors alike to use.<\/p>\n

History professors Dominique Marshall and David Dean are two of a growing number of faculty looking to take learning beyond the walls of a stereotypical classroom, and finding the Discovery Centre to be the perfect place to do that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s something about having a beautiful space where the technology\u2019s integrated into the space. You can achieve your pedagogical goals without it being too complicated,\u201d says Dean.<\/p>\n

In Dean\u2019s class, students Skyped with a British professor who recently wrote a book about people who performed cabarets in concentration camps. To illustrate the point, Dean wanted to show a video re-creation of some of these plays being performed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t have really done it that easily anywhere else on campus. I needed to switch seamlessly between the performance on DVD, a discussion, to the Skyping in the same room,\u201d he says. \u201cBeing able to do that in one space was terrific.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marshall got her whole class involved in using the Discover Centre as well, hosting an event where students could show off their final project posters<\/a> on the history of humanitarian aid. Students could move from one poster to the next and ask questions about each, finally culminating in a class discussion on the topics chosen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was nervous it was going to be too noisy, but it worked. We could do our own thing and other people could do their own thing,\u201d says Marshall, who also held office hours in the Discover Centre. \u201cThere\u2019s something about the sound which is not like a classroom. There\u2019s something personal about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of her favourite parts was the feedback she received from her students, which was overwhelmingly positive, as they were able to showcase their posters in the library for a week for all to see.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey could see the impact of what they had done,\u201d she says. \u201cThey said it was really nice to see peoples\u2019 reactions to their work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Dean and Marshall agree that the seamless technology and moveable classroom\u2015rather than bolted chairs and desks\u2015is the way of the future for universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt enhances [students\u2019] learning enormously,\u201d Dean says. \u201cAs more examples of what you can do in there get out to the community, more and more faculty will use it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
