'Designing Spaces for Effective Learning'

The e-Learning and Innovation strand of the JISC e-Learning Programme launched the publication 'Designing Spaces for Effective Learning' at the JISC Conference on the 14th March 2006. The aim of the guide is to provide the post-16 sector with succinct but essential considerations when designing learning spaces to support effective learning.
'Designing Spaces for Effective Learning' highlights current thinking about the use of learning technologies and their impact on a range of physical spaces, using noteworthy examples from current new-build and refurbishment projects from further and higher education institutions across the UK. A richly illustrated publication, it also offers architect-designed examples of space usage with general guidance on maximising the effectiveness of learning through the design of physical spaces. The guide concludes with a checklist of key points to help senior managers embarking on space utilisation and refurbishment projects, with particular regard to the design and use of technology within those spaces.
