The Learning Collaboration Studio, a Radically Flexible Space
Victoria Getis, Director, Digital Union; and Megan Troyer, Manager, Learning Collaboration Studio / The Ohio State University

Is radical flexibility a realistic goal in higher education? Starting with the conviction that environment and technology can have a high impact on instructor effectiveness and student learning, the OSU CIO’s office and the University Libraries worked together to build the collaborative tools. This session will review the philosophy guiding its creation, the lessons learned as the space is first put to use, and give an overview of the startup budget. We will discuss the instructors’ and students’ evaluation to date of the space and its effect on their interaction.
