college’s Fintel Library to create a flexible, multimedia classroom and lecture
venue for the humanities, with technology upgrades that will align with 21st-century
teaching and learning methods.
Roanoke College’s Fintel Library proposes to renovate its ground floor classroom and technology infrastructure to better support the pedagogies and learning styles of humanities faculty and students. The classroom will evolve into a space that enriches collaboration and civil discourse and accommodates a variety of teaching pedagogies and learning and study styles critical for advancing a liberal education and humanistic principles. Renovation will facilitate flexible arrangement to support individual learning, small group activities, and lecture-style seminars, classes, or film screenings. Technology upgrades--state-of-the art multi-media displays, lighting, and controls--will improve multi-media presentations, use of personal devices, and projection and enhance creation, analysis and presentation of digital humanities projects. Funding will help transform the classroom into a center of engagement supportive of the 21st century liberal education that Roanoke College offers. |
