The space offers the ultimate studio experience for faculty and instructors producing MOOC content and experimenting with innovative educational approaches.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe lab allows instructors to experiment with new forms of blended or flipped classrooms. It also allows for interaction with an external group, and is ideal for presentations, interviewing remote experts, and bridging global classrooms.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThis facility is intended as an experimental laboratory for pedagogical innovation,\u201d\u0026nbsp;said Rich DeMillo, director of C21U. \u201cIf there are things you want to try as a Georgia Tech faculty member, come to us with your ideas and let\u0027s talk.
