• This semester, Yale will debut its first Technology Enabled Active Learning (TEAL) classroom, which uses new technologies to improve students’ classroom experiences. Modeled after similar facilities at North Carolina State University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the TEAL classroom will be home to several courses, mostly in the Physics Department, starting this semester. The goal of the classroom — which is located on the ground floor of 17 Hillhouse, Yale’s old health center — is to facilitate learning through a more interactive format.
• Yale Dining unveiled its latest addition to a string of dining hall changes this winter break, introducing two new dining plans that allowed students and student-athletes to eat lunch and dinner in Morse and Ezra Stiles dining halls between Jan. 7-12. Despite the extra cost, students said they found the new plans to be useful.
