[LINK] Teaching and Learning at University of Queensland has a new green hi-tech building

[Tom Worthington]

Greetings from University of Queensland, where it apparently is 
"Teaching and Learning Week". The Learning Innovation Building (LIB), 
next to the book-store, is about three months old. LIB is home to the 
Centre for Educational Innovation and Technology (CEIT), Teaching and 
Educational Development Institute (TEDI) and the Centre for Innovation 
in Professional Learning (CIPL). This makes a change from the tradition 
of putting the education development unit in a demountable shed out the 
back of the chancellery.

The technicians are fine tuning the energy efficient climate control 
system. After a presentation when the blinds are raised, the system will 
check if the  weather is clement, and then turn off the air-conditioning 
and open the windows.

The building has a modern teaching room, with a flat floor, hexagonal 
tables on wheels (for up to six students each), touch and projections 
screens. The room can be divided into two with a movable wall.
