This week’s focus: Reimagining the Learning Space at IC
Please join the TELE Collaborative as we host opportunities to visit and discuss learning space design across the Ithaca College campus throughout the spring. We will explore the innovation of the physical environment and discuss the impact that learning space design can have on teaching, student engagement and learning. The goal is to solicit ideas from faculty users and multiple units on campus as collaborative stakeholders. We intend to seek advice and recommendations for future classroom renovation and upgrades.
TELE Collaborative: LEARNING SPACE DESIGN SERIES
Session 6: Friday April 24, 2015 – 3:45-5:00 – Gannett 319 [register]
Reimagining the Learning Space at IC …lessons learned and next steps:
This interactive session will build on discoveries from the ELI and NMC events (last fall) and our own Learning Space Design Series (this spring). We will seek to clarify and re-envision the current process for classroom renovations and upgrades, with an aim to develop tools faculty need to better articulate goals for reimagining learning spaces.
