Media Advisory: Minister to Attend Official Opening of Memorial University’s Teaching and Learning Commons

The Honourable Darin King, Minister of Education, will join Memorial University President Gary Kachanoski and Kirk Anderson, Dean of the Faculty of Education, on Monday, September 15, for the official opening of the university’s Teaching and Learning Commons. The event will be held at the G.A. Hickman (Education) Building, Room ED-5006, beginning at 10:30 a.m.

The Teaching and Learning Commons (TLC) is a former computer lab that has been transformed into a technology-rich teaching and learning space for students. The room contains state-of-the art IMac stations, interactive whiteboards, projectors, screens and computer applications where future teachers can work, collaborate, create multi-media presentations, and complete various facets of their course work.
