The evolution of a flexible classroom
Beth McCullough · 2009
Stanford University's Meyer Library Flexible Class-Lab opened in January of 1996. The multicolored beanbags, mobile furniture, rear-projection display system, and wireless laptops marked the space as a technologically advanced learning environment ideal for small-group collaborative activities. Thirteen years later, the Meyer Flex Class has received its first major revision. This revision incorporates advances in display and collaborative technologies. The primary goal of the new Flex Class is to support collaborative pedagogies that integrate the use of large- and small-group shared displays and collaborative software while striving to retain the ease of use and scalable support model of its predecessor.
