“Teaching with Technology in Interactive Lecture Spaces: The Case of Greenlaw 101:” a multi-modal, multi-media research project by Eileen Hammond and Heather Woods, doctoral researchers in the Department of Communication at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Using a mixed-method approach including classroom observations and interviews with instructors who piloted the renovated space, the project explores the pedagogical and logistical benefits and constraints of teaching in interactive, experimental lecture halls and offers best practices for instructors who find themselves teaching in Greenlaw 101 or classrooms like it. Portions of this project were presented at #CHAT16.
