Learning Spaces
The design of rooms, buildings and public spaces to support learning and creativity
A learning space should be able to motivate learners and promote learning as an activity, support collaborative as well as formal practice, provide a personalised and inclusive environment, and be flexible in the face of changing needs.Designing Spaces for Effective Learning: A guide to 21st century learning space design, JISC

New Learning
• 1:1 learning with personal technologies– Group Scribbles
• Technology-enabled group learning– MCSCL– Shared display– Design and creativity
• Cyber-performance• Problem-based learning• Connected learning
– Between classrooms– Between formal and informal settings

New Designs
• Graded learning space– Space moving from quite reflection to group learning, to
informal self access, to café space
• Studio– Drama – cyber-drama– Art and design – digital arts and media
• Innovative learning building– Connecting inside and outside– New teaching and learning spaces– Connecting with community– Sustainability and environmental responsiveness
• Learning city

Issues in the design of learning spaces
• Designing for 21st century learning• Designing for flexibility• Designing for sustainability• Design partnerships:
– Learning designers, architects, interactive systems engineers
• Ethics– Ownership, control, surveillance
• Evaluation– How to measure success?
