This document presents a framework for designing student learning environments called "spaces for knowledge generation." It discusses trends like the expectation of seamless learning anywhere and anytime, and challenges like developing digital literacies. The framework includes distributed learning spaces that can be physical, blended, or virtual. It also emphasizes seamless learning across different spaces and technologies. The framework is based on seven design principles for learning spaces including comfort, aesthetics, and allowing for multiple uses of a space. Examples are given of how these principles have been applied in various learning environments.

- 7. Trends ‣ People expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want. ‣ The abundance of resources and relationships will challenge our educational identity. ‣ Students want to use their own technology for learning. ‣ Shift across all sectors to online learning, hybrid learning and collaborative models. ‣ 7 Thursday, 22 November 12 7
- 8. Challenges n Seamless learning – people expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want. n Digital literacies – capabilities which fit an individual for living, learning and working in a digital society (JISC) n Personalisation - our learning, teaching, place of learning, technologies will be individualised n Digital scholarship will be the norm. 8 Thursday, 22 November 12 8

- 10. Spaces for Knowledge Generation n Physical, blended or virtual ‘areas’ that: n enhance learning n that motivate learners n promote authentic learning interactions n Spaces where both teachers and students optimize the perceived and actual affordances of the space (Keppell & Riddle, 2012). 10 Thursday, 22 November 12 10

Distributed Spaces n Growing acceptance that learning occurs in different ‘places’ n Ubiquity of learning in a wide range of contexts (Lea & Nicholl, 2002). n Growing acceptance of life-long and life- wide learning also have a major influence on distributed learning spaces. 12 Thursday, 22 November 12 12

- 17. Seven Principles of Learning Space Design n The SKG project has established seven principles of learning space design which support a collaborative and student-centred approach to learning: n Comfort: a space which creates a physical and mental sense of ease and well-being n Aesthetics: pleasure which includes the recognition of symmetry, harmony, simplicity and fitness for purpose n Flow: the state of mind felt by the learner when totally involved in the learning experience 17 Thursday, 22 November 12 17
- 18. Seven Principles of Learning Space Design •Equity: consideration of the needs of cultural and physical differences •Blending: a mixture of technological and face-to-face pedagogical resources •Affordances: the “action possibilities” the learning environment provides the users, including such things as kitchens, natural light, wifi, private spaces, writing surfaces, sofas, and so on. •Repurposing: the potential for multiple usage of a space (Souter, Riddle, Keppell, 2010) (http:// www.skgproject.com) 18 Thursday, 22 November 12 18

Outdoor Learning Spaces These pathways, thoroughfares and occasional rest areas are generally given a functional value in traffic management and are more often than not developed as an after thought in campus design. As such the thoroughfares and rest areas are under valued (or not recognized) as important spaces for teaching and learning (Rafferty, 2012). Thursday, 22 November 12 28
