Gorney-Moreno said it's still too early to know the exact cost of the smart classroom build out.
"With our goal of 35 to 40 new smart classrooms, I would guess it would cost around $300,000," Gorney-Moreno said. "We will send the proposed rooms to Facilities Development & Operations and ask them for a cost proposal for the electrical and also to University Computing and Telecommunications for the cabling.
"We will then submit a request for proposals from AV vendors."
Lisa Tilley, a senior majoring in corporate finance, thinks the addition of the smart classrooms isn't a must but that students will definitely benefit from them.
"Better presentations and the use of that technology would enhance the learning experience," Tilley said.
Gorney-Moreno said that the smart classrooms would allow faculty to present materials utilizing a greater variety of methods that will enhance student success by meeting the needs of multiple types of learners.
"These classroom environments will foster alternative styles of learning and the social construction of knowledge," Gorney-Moreno said. "These new classrooms will promote active participation and prepare students to learn and work in 'real world' environments."
