Learning21

摘要

The Learning21 project involves the redesign of physical learning spaces at Dublin City University (DCU) with a particular focus on the development of Digitally Enhanced Active Learning Spaces (DEALS). There is a growing body of literature on the design of new active and collaborative learning spaces that help institutions better harness the potential of flexible pedagogies and the affordances of new digital technologies. Barnett (2014), for example, proposes a useful set of conditions of flexibility as yardsticks by which higher education providers can guide their commitment towards flexible learning experiences and flexibility more generally as a valued feature of institutional culture. More specifically in the area of learning design, Keppell, Souter and Riddle (2011) suggest the following Seven Principles of Learning Space Design: 1 Aesthetics - recognition of symmetry, harmony, simplicity and fitness for purpose (http://www.skgproject.com/what-are-aesthetics/);
