University of Queensland • Experimental traditional lecture theatre & group rooms • Deployed lots of technology • Shared findings with the community • Design can be constrained by physical room constraints • Rooms designed before the ipad/tablets • Moving away from all equipment in 1 room to shared
infrastructure by many rooms/spaces

Griffith University • Focus on student centred learning –
informal areas and pods • Common Griffith Red design • Use of Library as key social area
and precinct • Engineering challenges with
technology and space constraints • New ways to use media screens
and digital signage

Griffith University • Use of precincts
and centralised flexible student service areas that staff can cross train and students can access as one stop shop

QLD University of Tech • Rooms based on agnostic mobile
technology solution accessing web based services
• Limited campus space dictates flexible room use & high utilisation
• Standard design principles for staff, students, postgrads

QLD University of Tech • Standard equipment and service
apps lower training + support needs • Use of external services like NVCS • Able to support IPADs and other
mobile devices to control rooms and use of software based solutions
• 100+ mobile “moocows” wifi connected
• Video enabled rooms become gaming rooms out of hours
6

Victoria University • Different design themes for spaces and
rooms • Sourcing solutions via external vendors
to create their spaces, 14 Cisco TP units for new learning spaces separately by curtains
• Legacy Tandberg systems remain and are interoperable with TP units
• Technology being used to connect multiple sites together and multiple learning spaces

University of Melbourne • Implementing 10 year
"Melbourne plan" started 2008 • Consolidating courses into 6
key areas "cohorts" focus on the on campus experience exclusively
• Emphasis on quality and on campus experience
• Leading design school on use of technology, design for teaching and learning outcomes

Key points • There can be many stakeholders and opinions to manage within a
“community of practice” model, often designs are retrofitted to space and other constraints
• Designs tend to be dictated by leader personality & behaviour with strong personality required to progress
• Most new spaces seem are experimental across small % rooms • Standardisation is key to support and training in use of technology • Few were aware of the AARNet services beyond the network • Technology and design choices depend on university culture and
goals, some want on campus experience, others want to connect multiple campuses, others want to connect students off campus

Key points • Expect classrooms to move to minimalism design as students and
staff bring own devices that use virtual clients and servers solutions = more reliance on network based services
• Expect less dedicated equipment per room, more shared services on and off campus
• Media walls are becoming key across all universities for information and enlightenment, many reticulate free-to-air tv
• Some key library and content services are off.net and could be hosted locally.
• Teaching and Learning spaces developments are starting to rely on both ITS and AARNet's network directly or indirectly, expect video to be part of the mix going forward and eduroam/wifi for interactions with technology so any disruptions may in the future be dramatic for these spaces. 11
