With the University’s rapidly evolving pedagogical strategies, modernization of instructional and classroom technology is required to keep up with the expectations of our students and faculty. This includes technology-enabled learning spaces for enhanced accessibility, frictionless use, and various modes of teaching and learning—online, in-person, hybrid, synchronous, and asynchronous. Current classrooms and learning spaces vary in technology setup and capabilities, contributing to an inconsistent student experience. Standardization will help create a seamless experience for both faculty and students. Along with increasing the number of spaces, providing technical support in the areas of instructional design, classroom support, and assistive technologies will go far in improving access and experiences.
