Learning Spaces e-book

EDUCAUSE is a nonprofit association whose mission is to advance higher education by promoting the intelligent use of information technology.
With the next phase of the college "new build" almost upon us, the following e-book will surely be of some interest to all, not just driven librarians.
From the introduction:
"Learning Spaces focuses on how learner expectations influence such spaces, the principles and activities that facilitate learning, and the role of technology from the perspective of those who create learning environments: faculty, learning technologists, librarians, and administrators. Information technology has brought unique capabilities to learning spaces, whether stimulating greater interaction through the use of collaborative tools, videoconferencing with international experts, or opening virtual worlds for exploration. This e-book represents an ongoing exploration as we bring together space, technology, and pedagogy to ensure learner success".

Big download (20Mb) although individual chapters are available. Chapters 1-13 focus on learning space design principles, chapters 14-43 are case studies illustrating those principles.
