Reservations and Appointments

Priority is given to those whose pedagogical needs are new, interesting or different.  Because 1-142 is an “Experimental Learning Environment”, we (OEIT) expect to learn from your unique pedagogical application, so encourage you to have a plan to provide us feedback and/or have an assessment plan in place to help us evaluate these Environments so that we (OEIT) can generate a compendium of Best Practices and allow the MIT community to benefit from these technologies.

If you would like to reserve this room or would like more information, contact ELEL-Consult@mit.edu.  Please allow 1 week advanced notice for appointments.  Please note: reservations for peak times often fill up early.  Make your reservation as soon as you can so that we can plan accordingly.
