AB  -                                Title: The Converged Classroom       The growing need to work smarter teaching classes and to utilize classroom space moreefficiently gives way to rethinking how classrooms should be structured to accommodate today’sstudents. One engineering department at a 4-year technology-based university stepped up to thechallenge of providing a converged online and face-to-face interactive learning environment.This new environment was developed over a period of 2 years evolving from a traditional face-to-face classroom into hybrid and online environments. The need to evolve resulted fromchanges in the type of students enrolling in the classrooms. The growing need to accommodatenon-traditional students who have full-time jobs, perhaps older than your traditional collegestudent, with a family spawned the need to make changes.       The evolution of today’s classroom is nothing new; many other colleges are goingthrough similar growing pains. The uniqueness of this converged learning environment is theability to offer multiple delivery modalities as one classroom. Students have a choice ofattending as a distance learner (online), or as a hybrid learner (combination of face-to-face andonline). The virtual attendee and the physical attendee become one in the same with the abilityto switch freely from week to week. Converged classrooms are conducted by the faculty withtwo live sets of students, the virtual online and the physical face-to-face. This unified yetflexible environment goes beyond the need to accommodate job and family commitments; it alsoserves to provide consistent course content, to promote more student interaction, and supportstheir varied learning styles. Benefits to the school are better utilization of space, increasedenrollment, better utilization of faculty, and promotes student retention. This engineeringdepartment continues to improve this environment with a more efficient use of learningmanagement technology and working with the school administration to make adaptations in theareas of course registration, tuition costs, and information technology.
