Classrooms of the Future

Learning Stretched Beyond Four Walls

Our society is engaged in a profound state of technological transition. Traditional, lecture-based, paper-centered learning environments are fading fast. YSU seeks to embrace this change and afford YSU students the most advanced learning environments available.

The university’s overall goal is to create 18 “classrooms of the future” equipped with Cisco Spark Stations – touch-based collaboration devices that will expand the classroom beyond its four walls.

Classrooms of the future have the potential to increase enrollment through a wider selection of online class offerings. The technology-rich classroom environments will also enhance student experience in a myriad of ways, including the ability to revisit previous lectures through video storage systems.
