Teach in an Innovative Space
Innovative Spaces is a campus-wide initiative to foster transformational teaching and learning by providing targeted access to classrooms designed for increased student engagement.
This collaboration between the Office of Distance Education and eLearning and the University Registrar encourages a greater focus on active learning pedagogy and more deliberate use of technology and physical classroom spaces on the Columbus campus. Accepted courses will receive priority scheduling in an Innovative Space.
Our Innovative Spaces include a variety of configurations of Active Learning Classrooms with flexible furniture, whiteboards, and more. For the first time, we are also offering Remote-Enhanced Classrooms that support robust simulcasting so your students can better connect and participate in synchronous class activities from a distance. If you have designed your course to integrate active learning strategies or regular simulcasting, we encourage you to explore the rooms below and apply.
Apply to Innovative Spaces
The application to teach in an Active Learning or Remote-Enhanced Classroom for Spring 2022 is open until August 4th, 2021. The application window for Summer and Autumn 2022 courses will open later this fall.
