Planning and Designing Technology-Rich Learning Spaces

This is a new infokit from the JISC infoNet:
Learning space design and development is becoming a hot topic as our colleges and universities seek to provide 21st century learning facilities, and technology has a vital role to play in this. Significant amounts of funding are being invested both by the funding bodies and by institutions investing hard-earned surpluses in their estates.
Where there is money there is bound to be activity and excitement. The current levels of investment provide the first opportunity for many years for the sector to not only upgrade its building stock but also to engage nationally and internationally with others in the sector, in other phases of education, and in the workplace about what types of learning spaces 21st century learners need, what we know works, and what we think might work better.
The JISC publication Designing Spaces for Effective Learning (March 2006) reported on some of the projects taking place in FE and HE and provides useful guidance for those involved in developing new learning spaces. The Scottish Funding Council has also published Spaces for Learning. These reports have provided a sound basis for the continuing exploration by FE and HE institutions of new possibilities for learning space provision.
