Environments for Learning Issues and Implications Presenter(s): Lennie Scott-Webber, Vecta
Empirical evidence suggests learning occurs within a social context. Learning environments are complicated, needing technological connectivity and opportunities for applying knowledge. In the past, design approaches have been reactive not proactive, individualistic and not holistic. How can spaces support multiple tasks like presentation, discussion, teamwork, and one-to-one delivery systems, the seamless integration of technology, and a focus on the instructional setting as a tool supporting the learning process? This presentation will equip attendees with core knowledge on learning, an approach for gathering information, and a model for guiding design decisions. Participants will receive a workbook of resources, including an activity model guiding the design for user's needs in instructional spaces. Lennie Scott-Webber is director of applications research at Vecta. She has over 30 years of experience as an interior designer, and her research as an environment behaviorist includes the study of learning environments. |

Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well. |
