Minimum Viable Classroom Standard

The Minimum Viable Classroom (MVC) concept will allow SJSU to create a flexible, cost-effective learning space baseline equipped with essential technologies that enhance teaching and student engagement. It ensures that classrooms meet the basic needs of students & faculty, are adaptable to various teaching methods, and can be quickly upgraded or scaled to meet evolving educational needs. Working alongside campus partners, the classroom technology steering committee has developed work-in-progress preliminary core requirements.
