Summary

Your host, Steve Worona, will be joined by Phillip D. Long, and the topic will be "Learning Space Design."

This session explores learning–space design principles as a way to enhance and transform teaching and learning with technology. The principles acknowledge changes in our understanding of student cognition and faculty roles in the learning process. They also incorporate the enabling role of technology. Well configured learning space makes it possible for faculty and students to engage in active learning, thereby enhancing learning outcomes.
