Tidebreak

Learn how some world-class organizations are using Tidebreak’s products to transform the nature of interactive learning on their campuses.

University of Washington

Students at the University of Washington funded multiple TeamSpot installations to create Collaboration Studios where they could meet together for team projects. Read about the success of these installations in a case study published on the Campus Technology website on January 30, 2008.

Ross School of Business, University of Michigan

Leaders at the University of Michigan’s Stephen M. Ross School of Business know that business education’s transformation reflects the changing realities of the 21st Century workplace. Competitive pressures call for rapid innovation across diverse, globally distributed teams, and students need to prepare to succeed in this new environment. The school has responded in a dramatic way by building a new state-of-the-art facility that will, “…create an optimal environment for the school’s team-based learning that bridges theory and practice and encourages greater collaboration.”

Tidebreak’s TeamSpot software has transformed how student teams can work together before the walls of the school’s new building were even in place. Installed in several rooms set aside for group work, TeamSpot helped pattern new work practices that will be enabled in the new facility.

Queensland University of Technology

The Queensland Univeresity of Technology is working with other institutions in Australia to pattern new forms of flexible learning spaces that minimize cost while maximizing interaction capabilities for students and faculty. Tidebreak’s software products have taken a central role as enabling technologies that power the new model for collaborative learning spaces.

In December 2007 the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) deployed thirty (30) TeamSpot licenses across various departments on its campus, including learning spaces for Law, Business, and general students. Students took to the new technology quickly, and demand for TeamSpot was so strong that the ITS group soon used up all of its original licenses. Leaders at QUT are now making plans to increase significantly the density of TeamSpot installations on their campus and to deploy ClassSpot within their 250 formal classroom spaces on campus.
