Creating a STEM Collaborative Learning Center: A Case Study
Worsham, Doug; Hoffner, Courtney; Shaked, Shanna
Journal of Learning Spaces, v10 n1 p43-50 2021
What happens when campus units come together to create both a shared physical space and a shared mission space? This case study highlights a unique cross-campus partnership between the UCLA Science Libraries and two academic support programs to create a STEM Collaborative Learning Center. This space serves to help decrease achievement gaps in STEM courses through peer-to-peer active learning and collaborative study. The results of the collaboration have helped to promote student success, increase the value and visibility of the library, inform space design decisions, and innovate new ways campus partners can work together to achieve shared goals.
