- 14. LESSONS LEARNED • Learning Spaces can drive curriculum innovation: • Contrary to common practice in educational institutions world-wide, these labs were NOT designed by large consultation or collaboration, nor were they designed after exhaustive reviews of curriculum and/or learning objectives. To quote an anonymous source, “had we followed this practice, we would have ended up with tiered lecture theatres with document cameras and one projector with a whiteboard…”. • “When I walk into most lecture theatres on campus (any campus), I see restrictions, when I walk into the Sauder Learning Labs, I see opportunities.” Jim Sibley, Director of the Center for Instructional Support, Faculty of Applied Sciences, UBC
- 15. LESSONS LEARNED • Institutional bureaucracies are not ready for flexible learning spaces • What do you mean you don’t want the room for the entire semester? • Room Occupancy (Security, Plant-Ops) • Tinder for classroom swaps…
- 16. LESSONS LEARNED • Never underestimate need for support = Sauder uses student/staff for all Learning Labs bookings. Scenarios: • 0-3 weeks at beginning of semester, onsite, in-class • All ad-hoc bookings, onsite, in-class for launch • Tech Rovers - perform other tasks as designated by Learning Services staff (or faculty) when not needed (onsite but not in class)
- 17. LESSONS LEARNED • Focus on Audio and Data, video is not critical: • There is no video conference architecture in the Sauder Learning Labs at all. Consequence? • We can ‘join’ anyone, anywhere, anytime on any platform of our (or their) choosing, and we can ‘bring in’ to the labs anything on the internet…
