Designing Spaces for Effective Learning Events

Designing spaces for effective learning events

Planning and designing technology-rich learning spaces

Four workshops were run in partnership with the Higher Education Academy and JISC infoNet on designing technology-enabled learning spaces. These focused on:

  • social and collaborative learning
  • inquiry-based learning
  • blended learning and teaching
  • strategic planning for the development of learning environments following the 2006 UK Higher Education Space Management report on the impact on space of future changes in higher education

The workshops build on the recently launched JISC guide Designing Spaces for Effective Learning. They will be of interest to senior managers in higher education with responsibility for space planning and management, including pro vice-chancellors, directors, deans of faculty and departmental heads, university registrars, and strategic planning managers. Presentations from these workshops are available from the event's page listed below:
