Students; looking at a projector screen; learning something (hopefully). They are in a classroom; safe environment. I can't tell time of day because they are indoors with no windows in sight. -Sharon O'Brien
Students waiting for the teacher to arrive. it looks like a small extra curricular class maybe or a meeting of some sort. Boredom looms. -Jim Dailey
What strikes me here is the people that are missing from the circle. I notice the empty chairs and that the space between the participants has not been closed. I would assume that they are comfortable maintaining a distance from each other instead of trying to draw into a close circle. -Kitty Robles
The presence of book bags, notebooks, desks, chalkboard, and projection screen all seem to denote a classroom type setting, a learning environment. The room's attention appears focused on the projection screen display; perhaps a presentation is being given (by either a faculty member or student). If a presentation is not being given, perhaps the group is browsing the web (exploring course/subject related material, examining a web site or article pertinent to the class discussion). The circle formation seating arrangement promotes the notion of group discussion-the setting encouraging more of an open dialogue rather than (strict) lecture format. The small number of people in the room and also the spatial arrangement of the room (circle seating) incite me to think that perhaps I am observing a discussion section (or else an extremely small class). -Nicole Ortegòn
