Learning Spaces workshop, 9 September 2011 by spk7 posted on Aug 22, 2011 02:40 PM 0 comment(s)
The role of the university campus is changing in subtle and important ways. Today, student ‘timescapes’ typically involve moving between places to work, study, sleep, eat, and play, and the boundaries between these places are now less distinct as wireless networks, laptops, smart phones, and iPads afford greater flexibility and mobility. Yet learning spaces are still being designed with traditional ‘chalk and talk’ modes in mind — arguably to the detriment of learning outcomes. This workshop uses findings and methods from the Spaces for Knowledge Generation project, funded by the Australian Teaching and Learning Council, to provide novel ways to inform learning space design with student perspectives. It will give you an opportunity to apply some of these techniques to the design of learning spaces within your own institution. Teaching staff and administrators who have involvement or interest in the design and planning of learning spaces will benefit from this workshop.
