PACE Lab to Close / Flex Lab to Open

After 30 years, the English PACE lab will close its doors on May 1, 2013. Over the summer, Oakley 207 will be refurbished and will re-open as the new English Flex Lab, combining the best of traditional and online education in order to give students a whole new way to experience their writing classes! Students can now register for EFL classes for autumn semester.

 

During the first week of autumn semester, students will attend an orientation session in the lab. Orientations will be held every hour, on the hour; from then on, students will be required to attend at least one hour per week to meet with their instructor, discuss their progress, get help with assignments, or simply work on-site. Students who do not have Internet at home should plan to attend more often. All course work will be available on, and can be submitted through, Moodle.  

 

Two added bonuses: unlike online classes, there is no additional course fee when registering to take a class in the English Flex Lab, and extra tutoring support is always available. Students who register for EFL classes will be welcome any time the lab is open. They can use college computers or bring their own laptops, since the new EFL is a wireless hot spot. The lab will offer both a traditional classroom environment and a coffee shop atmosphere in the back room, furnished with comfortable chairs, couches and coffee.

 

Whether students register for traditional, online, or EFL classes, they must complete in a single semester. Students who do not begin their EFL classes by the end of the second week will be dropped from the class. Anyone who would like to learn more about the English Flex Lab is encouraged to stop by Oakley 312. Pamphlets are available or they can talk to Renee Williams, Jane Ann Fuller, Deni Naffziger, or Sarah Parker-Clever.
