Teaching Studio

The MIT Sloan Teaching Studio exemplifies Transition Design principles in action, evolving from a pandemic-era home teaching kit to a sophisticated "Instructional Playground." Working collaboratively with an interdisciplinary team, including an instructional designer, video editor, web developer, field engineer, and programmers, we've created a versatile space that adapts to diverse teaching needs.

The studio's innovative "Scenes" feature allows presenters to effortlessly mix laptop content, the primary camera, and the whiteboard camera views, streamlining the production process. Esteemed MIT Sloan faculty such as Eric So, Nelson Repenning, Renée Richardson Goslin, and Court Chilton frequently use this studio for live broadcasting and recording sessions. It's heavily utilized by Executive Education, the Leadership Center, and various faculty courses, demonstrating its broad impact on educational delivery.

A key success of the studio is its accessibility, which enables in-house staffing by AV Specialists and empowers users to participate at various levels, from simple presenting to independent video editing. This democratization of content creation aligns with Transition Design's goal of creating more inclusive and adaptable systems.

The studio's capabilities have garnered wider recognition, as evidenced by our YouTube video on ChatGPT's Advanced Data Analysis, approaching 100,000 views. This showcases how innovative design can extend the reach and impact of educational content.
