Dear SEDA colleagues 

Here is my final updated list of references kindly sent to me by SEDA 
colleagues in response to my question about any literature related to the 
effect of space on learning.
The original question was asked by a colleague who is supervising a 
doctoral student - I have passed on this list to the grateful student, but 
judging by the response I can see this is a topic of general interest.
Please don't send me any more links - but I am wondering if this is a 
topic SEDA could consider for a future conference, or strand of a 
conference.

In addition to these references I had some anecdotal accounts that 
demonstrated what I suspect many of us believe - space and how we use it 
really does impact on student learning and behaviour in general, as well 
as these less formal links:
the Jisc infoKit on Learning Spaces which draws together much of the 
literature and links to a range of case studies and examples from the 
sector. http://www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/infokits/learning-spaces/
anything published by Rob Beichner (USA) in relation to flipped classroom 
and his scale-up approach to using active learning with large groups of 
students.  I?ve attached info from our univ staff website with a link to 
Rob?s key note.  Sorry ? I don?t have his references to hand.
SCALE-UP UK Conference 2014
On 12 September 2014 NTU hosted the inaugural SCALE-UP UK Conference. The 
conference keynote speech was delivered by the world?s leading expert in 
SCALE-UP, Professor Robert Beichner from North Carolina State University. 
The conference also included workshops, presentations, discussions, and a 
poster session. There were opportunities for networking, and an optional 
tour of the NTU SCALE-UP rooms in Boots Library.
Presenters came from institutions in Abu Dhabi, Sweden, Lisbon, Bradford, 
Portsmouth, and from NTU. Between them, they were able to share their 
SCALE-UP experiences with 100 delegates from across Britain and beyond.
You can view a Flickr album of photos from the conference.
Materials from the conference can be found below.
You can view videos of Bob Beichner?s keynote and top tips from our 
conference presenters on the Vimeo website. (Use the following password:
