The MASIE Center Learning Lab:

We are proud to present another seminar in our MASIE Center Learning Lab, a $2 million facility in Saratoga Springs, New York.

This is a state-of-the-art building that was specially built for Learning research, development and training. The 10,000 square foot facility will be your "sandbox" during the Learning Design Lab & Seminar.  Here is a glimpse of the technology and capabilities of the Learning Lab:

• Learning Tools: Our 30 workstations and network will provide you with the most recent tools, systems and learning examples from organizations around the globe.  These include an opportunity for some hands-on time with Rapid Development formats and systems.

• Simulation and Gaming Arena: High-engagement simulations are at your fingertips to see what happens when we increase your pulse and reactions. We will even take you on a stake-out with real police officers and guns to see how ready you are to judge and react wisely.  We will also give you a chance to discuss the impact of new models, including 3D Learning (Virtual Worlds) and Gaming Environments like the Wii.
  
• Virtual Teaching Studios: These are dedicated rooms that you will use to practice a range of techniques. They allow you to experiment with a dozen different virtual training platforms, ranging from audio to web-based classrooms to broadband video collaboration.

• Video Capture: There are many cameras throughout the building that will provide you with a video summary of key segments of the program that you can stream once you return to your office.
  
• Learning Lab & Studio: This is a 2,000 square foot main location for our class activity, containing 30 workstations, gas plasma and LCD projection equipment, Group Decision making software, Audience Response Systems and a host of tools to add to your learning and creativity.

• Workgroup Rooms: You and your teammates will have access to project rooms throughout the building for group assignments.
• Remote Access: At your discretion, you can demonstrate your Learning to a few of your colleagues back home from the Learning Lab.

• Wireless and Device Learning: We have constructed a wireless environment within the building to enable and demonstrate how Learning can work with new form factors, including wireless handhelds.
