     The Office of Instructional Development is working with the Office of
the Registrar to give instructors access to Flex Classrooms if they are
interested in developing interactive teaching strategies.  The VPUE office,
which manages the rooms, is accepting proposals that "clearly define
pedagogy that encourages student engagement through the use of the Flex
Classroom space and technologies."  

 

     The Flex Classroom in INTS that seats 45 students is an opportune space
for two Writing Program instructors and their sections to work together.
These rooms are equipped with standard as well as unusual electronic
equipment, white boards, and flexible seating and tables.  If you are
interested in the possibility of working with another Writing Program
instructor to teach an interactive version of a Writing Program class in one
of these rooms, please contact Cynde Sanchez and me to talk about your
ideas.  Although we have not yet given out course assignments, we can
explore with you the possibility of helping teams of instructors use the
Flex space.

optimize the resources of the rooms, priority scheduling will be given to
requests that  Scheduling will be available for approved requests on a

state-of-the-art instructional technology resources, and is designed to
allow faculty to experiment with interactive pedagogical methods, limited
only by their imagination.  This classroom is available for scheduling by
interested faculty; please visit http://hyperstruction.ucr.edu/  for details
