Learning Spaces
Technology-enabled places to teach and learn
Experimental Learning Spaces
ODL maintains four physical Experimental Learning Environments (ELE) and a small pool of mobile devices for flexible deployment for innovative curricula. These spaces are intended as incubators for testing new or different technologically enhanced pedagogical paradigms. We host a suite of technologies, applications and tools in these physical spaces.
