Integrating Pedagogy, Space, and Technology for Optimal Classroom Design
Introduction
On May 6, 2024, BHDP Architecture hosted a Higher Education Thought Leadership Roundtable of leading experts on integrating pedagogy, space, and technology for optimal classroom design. Participants included Joshua Kim, Ph.D.- Director of Online Programs and Strategy at Dartmouth College, Sam Elkington, Ph.D.- Professor of Learning and Teaching at Teesside University, UK, Jamie Caridi, Ph.D.- President of Bethany College, Lauren Barbeau, Ph.D.- Assistant Director for Learning and Technology Initiatives at Georgia Tech- Center for Teaching and Learning, Steven Butschi- Director of Education, North America Google Education Go-to-market and Partnerships team, and Kyle Bowen- Deputy Chief Information Officer, Arizona State University.
These experts were asked a series of questions to solicit insights on various topics, including their perspectives on the most effective pedagogical approaches for student learning, engagement, and satisfaction, and how emerging technologies—such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality—affect pedagogical delivery and classroom design. The conversation also addressed the challenges of integrating technology throughout the campus ecosystem, the value and future of liberal arts programs, and the importance of collaborative evaluation of instructional spaces and technologies. BHDP validated emerging themes identified throughout the roundtable discussion by surveying chief academic officers on the subject of pedagogy, technology, and space design, the results of which are included in this report.
