A. James Clark School of Engineering Dedicates New Learning Center
On October 12, 2012 the University of Maryland’s Clark School of Engineering held a dedication ceremony to inaugurate the Arnold E. Seigel Learning Center, a new suite of studio classrooms located in J.M. Patterson Building designed to use cutting edge technology and best practices in online learning to deliver high quality, blended education both face to face and at a distance. The six classrooms, ranging in capacity from 17 to 122 seats, are equipped with state-of-the-art lighting, acoustics, high definition cameras, and sophisticated lecture capture software that both stream live and record a classroom in session. Instructors are provided with a spacious workstation that includes a computer, overhead document camera, touch screen room controls, and an electronic tablet for drawing and/or annotating. < p> The dedication ceremony, held in one of the studio classrooms in 3201 J.M.
