TEAL Classrooms- Technology Enhanced Active Learning encourage team-based active learning by making it easier for students to collaborate and participate in group work.
Each TEAL classroom — there are two at Olsen Hall on North Campus and one in Coburn Hall on South Campus — is equipped with tables for six (referred to as “pods”) along the room’s perimeter. Each pod is centered around a 55-inch touchscreen monitor. Students wirelessly connect their laptops, tablets or phones to their group’s pod to collaborate on work.

You will receive a response to your request from the Registrar’s Office within 3 business days. Please note that room assignments are tentative; the Registrar’s Office reserves the right to update room assignments at any time to accommodate ADA requirements, etc.
If a full semester is more than you need, you can reserve TEAL classrooms for one (or more) ad-hoc class periods. Ad-hoc reservations are available after the add/drop period each semester when the academic scheduling blackout has been removed. This is a great way to add team-based active learning methods to your syllabus without committing to a full semester.
