Innovative learning spaces

You are a student at OTH Amberg-Weiden and want to work on your digital project alone or in a group? Then head for the Learning Hall in room 206, building G (Faculty EMI)! Here you have almost 80 m² at your disposal for individual development.
The Learning Hall was designed as an innovative space for individual learning and working with digital media. At the heart of the concept are high-performance workstations that are independent of the wired power and LAN supply. Powerful MacBook Pro computers are used for this purpose, supplemented by an external monitor, keyboard and mouse. These are each integrated into a modern, mobile, height-adjustable, battery-powered workstation. The battery capacity is designed for a busy working day. However, should it not be enough, you simply replace the battery and continue your work. Of course, you can also use your own devices and use them as an alternative to the MacBook at the battery-powered workstation. Or you can use one of the individual workstations or the seminar chairs. If the screens are too small for you, or if you need a really large screen for group work, you can use the screens on the walls. Just like in a digital classroom, simply connect them via cynaps. Part of the room can be separated from the rest of the room with a soundproof curtain. This "virtual collaboration space" is intended for meetings and group work.
Where you want to sit and work in the room, alone or in a group, is up to you.

Students of the Educational Technology Master's programme already know the digital classroom in room 319 in building D (Faculty MB/UT). At the very top of the right tower, as seen from the inner courtyard, is a gem with trend-setting equipment. This room is designed with the "bring your own device" concept in mind: every student (and lecturer) brings their own laptop and uses it. The furniture is adapted to the BYOD concept and the mobile seminar chairs all have a shelf on which the laptops can be placed. The mobile smartboards and several large screens distributed around the room on the walls can be accessed and used from any computer in the room via the Cynaps system. These diverse presentation options invite cooperative work in small and large groups. The equipment is completed by a high-performance ceiling microphone and webcams, which can be used for hybrid or completely digital lectures as well as video conferences.
