Spaces, Places and Future Learning

Using innovative technology and practice to re-imagine learning spaces

1-2 November 2006

Rich Mix, London (www.richmix.org.uk)

This two-day conference organised by Futurelab will provide an opportunity to challenge our preconceptions of the places in which we learn, both in and outside of school, and to re-imagine how they could be designed through the use of technology and innovative practice. With projects such as Building Schools for the Future (BSF) currently on the horizon, the conference will give delegates a timely opportunity to re-examine what we want our schools to be in the future and to ensure that any new set-up, in terms of both building and infrastructure, will fulfil learners’ needs now and in the future. It will also provide an opportunity to consider potential learning environments outside of school as well as to discuss learners of all ages.

Keynote Speakers include Lord David Puttnam, former film producer and BAFTA Academy Fellow for 2006; Bruce Jilk, Educational Consultant and CEFPI Planner of the Year for 2005; Edith Ackermann, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); Jeffrey Revoy, Senior Director of Yahoo! Europe Search and Local; and Steve Moss, Partnerships for Schools (Building Schools of the Future). A full programme is attached.

The conference will bring together the technology, building and infrastructure, education, policy and academic sectors, and features research studies alongside practical projects. Be part of the debate on re-imagining learning spaces and book your place at Spaces, Places and Future Learning. For further information and to book your place please contact Futurelab on 0117 915 8200 or go to www.futurelab.org.uk/events/learning_spaces where you can book online.

Hi Karen

We don't list external events I'm afraid.

Did you know we recently produced a publication covering this topic?:

http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=pub_spaces

Potentially if colleagues felt it was relevant we could put the information out on some of our mailing

lists. Can you send me some more information?

Hi Sara,

We're running a conference in November on Learning spaces and I wondered if we could get it listed on the JISC website somewhere. Do JISC list external events? Who should I contact if they do?

Thanks and have a great weekend, any plans?

Karen
