Fair enough Carina
Sorry
Not meaning to 'picket' - just felt like business as usual
Being hyper-sensitive I guess
But please look out for possible boycott of Kent
Our management being particularly nasty

Hi Ian,
I don’t know about our LDHEN colleagues, but to my dismay I am not on an academic contract, I am part of professional services, making my union Unison. Moreover, my university is not involved in the strike. If I was an academic, facing these cuts to my pension, and if I was at a striking university, then I would be out on strike right now.
But I’m not. And given the nature of learning development, I am highly confident I am in the majority on this mailing list.
It’s hard to tell from emails - not quite sure what you were getting at?
Best wishes
Carina

Subject: Learning Development spaces
Dear all,
The Learning Development Centre at Aston University is currently situated in our Library building, although we are not part of the Library team. The space includes three workshop rooms with AV equipment and an open area of group tables for 1:1 appointments with our learning advisers, student writing mentors and for drop-ins with our Maths team (from which we often need to remove students who stray into our space from the library!). We provide skype and email tutorials to distance learners (usually from our desks or any quiet space we can find!).
In the coming year we will be moving location (which, as you can guess, is a mix of good and bad). Starting with a blank canvas, we have the opportunity to redesign the Learning Development space and reconsider the way in which the space is used.
We would be interested to hear your recommendations:
· What physical spaces have worked particularly well?
· What would be your ideal learning development space? Why?
We would, also, be interested to hear of any research carried out on learning development spaces.
Thank you!
Nicola
