goals for the OpenLab
_ make the curriculum visible to students
_ encourage connections across the college
_ empower students to take ownership of their work
_ offer a virtual space for collaboration & learning for the entire City Tech community
why “Open”?
unlike closed online college systems, the OpenLab allows members across
the college to communicate with one another and the
world outside City Tech
why “Lab”? like a lab, it provides a space where faculty and students can work together, experiment, and
innovate
