Technology (Classrooms)
The TILE Program offers 10 classrooms across the UI campus, that range in size from 27 to 81 seats. Most of these rooms offer round tables that seat nine students, with three computers at each table. These technology-rich “classic” TILE rooms provide central switching stations that faculty members and students can use to project images from classroom laptops to LCD screens, one for each table. The rooms also are lined with glass white-boards for teams of students to use when collaborating.
In addition, we offer two other variations of learning spaces called TILE-Flex and TILE-Lite rooms. TILE-Flex is 214 Blank Honors Center, a space which, due to a 1:1 laptop to student ratio, offers a flexible switch between individual and group work teaching approaches. TILE-Lite is our newest branding of space that is technology light. This unique classroom does not use tables, and instead has movable tablet-arm chairs that cluster around power pods to form groups, enabling different active-learning teaching and learning.
