Welcome and Introductions Welcome and Introductions Internet2-enabled Learning Commons (LC)

partnership between Information Technology Services and the University Library at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo

participatory user-driven design include student and faculty users in collaboratively applying

Scandinavian style co-design methodologies for physical and virtual learning and teaching environments

collaboration Luleå University of Technology: Social Informatics San Jose State University: Information Science, Library Studies


Internet2 Champions and Mini-Grants

Internet2 Champions and Mini-Grants

promotion and funding of Internet2-related activities faculty representatives from each college, ITS, library ‘seed grant’ funding program for promising research and

development (R&D) projects that require I2 bandwidth and processing capabilities

focus on activities funded through two of these mini-grants interactive evaluation methodology for identifying socio-

technical aspects of user-centered physical learning places and virtual learning spaces

design of a virtual environment to facilitate interaction

Conclusions and Wrap-UpConclusions and Wrap-Up

Learning Commons as focal point re-design of under-utilized space in the library

Internet2-enabled learning and teaching approaches collaboration, access to remote resources

participatory interaction, evaluation, and dialogue involvement of various user groups early on

‘learning by doing’ students work on practical projects in class


AcknowledgementsAcknowledgements

The interactive design approach at Cal Poly was tested from January to June 2005 with funding from a U.S. Office of Naval Research Internet2 MiniGrant subcontract award.

We appreciate the support of the funding agency, of Cal Poly’s Office of Research and Graduate Programs, and of Cal Poly’s ITS department.
