North Carolina State University continues to integrate the use of computers and other technologies into the teaching and learning experience. By constantly taking advantage of and implementing these resources, the university is able to provide students with some of the best instructional resources available.

Flyspace

Flyspace was designed for students, faculty and staff to promote group learning and collaboration. Two Flyspace rooms are located in the Talley Student Center basement, in the corner of the Wolves Den dining room. Each room can accommodate approximately six people; the rooms are small by design, but each comes equipped for every meeting need: table and chairs; phone and white boards; two computers with monitors mounted on articulating arms; connectivity for data, audio and video; connections for four laptops and wireless; a large flat-panel display and software productivity tools.

The great location, comfort and technology make Flyspace the perfect place for academic or extracurricular collaboration. And with open scheduling, via the Web, you can reserve Flyspace -- for whatever, whenever. Don't mis this exciting opportunity to use this great collaborative workspace. Bring your laptop and your classmates and check out NCS State's newest tool for technology-assisted collaborative learning!

For more information about Flyspace, including scheduling, equipment and avialbility, see http://www.ncsu.edu/flyspace/ or http://www.ncsu.edu/student_center/.

Flyspace was created through a collaborative partnership of Information Technology Division, LITRE, NCSU Libraries, and Talley Student Center.
