Effective curriculum delivery is dependent on several factors including pedagogical approach, instructor expertise, and physical space. This panel will detail the pedagogical approaches that drive the design and layout of the physical facilities built for classroom and laboratory instruction in mass communications programs. Too, the discussion will detail opportunities to secure administrative support and funding for the construction of the physical space that are anchored in sound pedagogy. Moderator: Bradford L.
