Active Learning Room (LIB458)

The Library has set up a technology-enabled study room that supports active learning among students. The room can seat 4-6 persons. Please contact the Circulation Desk for the room key (UMBC ID required).

Students are encouraged to use the room and provide feedback. We will also be able to explore and evaluate the use of different teaching and learning technologies for possible wider implementation.

Mobile stand with: PC, keyboard and mouse projector 32'' flat panel monitor switches to enable the PC and/or your laptop to display to the monitor and/or projector

Network access: wireless and data lines

Wiimote interactive whiteboard (IWB)

The Wiimote IWB is a simple and innovative alternative to commercial IWBs. An infrared pen is used to interact directly with a projected computer display - a packet of these is available at the Circulation Desk. [Instruction sheet (PDF)]

Dry erase walls: available as paint and adhesive skin

LIB458 has dry erase writing surfaces instead of a chalkboard or whiteboard. Dry erase markers can be used freely on these surfaces - dry erase marker pens are available at the Circulation Desk.
