A very abridged version of
research so far…
In recent times it started again Oblinger (2005) and her EDUcause
book
There was SCALE-UP (2007), putting the teacher in the centre
More recently, in the UK, we had the UCISA Learning Spaces Toolkit
(2016) taking all the findings and sythesising them for a technical
audience
Australia has a lot of research into this area one such book is Learning
Spaces in Higher Education: Positive Outcomes by Design (2008)

“…education is on the
brink of being transformed
through learning
technologies; however, it
has been on that brink for
some decades now.” Professor Diana Laurillard, London

A very challenging area of educational
development, but why?...
Teaching was until the 1800s*, a private thing between the teacher
and students… then inspections etc arrived
We are moving slowly from a teacher-centred to a student-centred curriculum
Structures and politics in education and technology adoption
(Selwyn & Facer, 2014) are difficult to navigate – Learning Spaces
involves a multi-stakeholder engagement (Estates, IT/AV, Academic
Development etc)
In higher education, the academic is autonomous (compared to a
School teacher)

“…In light of this apparent
disparity it seems
appropriate that the field
of educational technology
begins also to question
that could be termed
‘state-of-actual’.” Professor Neil Selwyn, Monash

Benefits in Learning Spaces

Some very big benefits in this area of
educational development...
The way a room is laid out can have a big impact on the activities you
can do in the space with ease
You can move around the space yourself more, giving students more control
You only see students for a small time in their learning journey so
not do something more than talk at them
Changing your teaching style can make your students more
employable

Are you a teacher-centred or
student-centred teacher?

It starts with constructive alignment in
your teaching...
What do you want your students to learn?
Learning Outcomes
How will you know they have learnt something?
Assessment Tasks
The last point is most often left out by many teachers, dependent on
their level of experience? (Nicholls, 2005)
How will you get them to this place of learnt?

There is a gap in the development of
staff in higher education
Without reward or recognition, staff usually don’t engage
What is your CPD offer to staff ? What about the experienced staff? Can they
be seconded to carry out a project?
All areas of education – Primary to Higher, the excellent institutions
have strong leadership and direction and a culture of
experimentation
Do you have a Community of Practice approach?
