Publication of the UK Higher Education Learning Space Toolkit
I am writing to announce the publication of the UK Higher Education Learning Space Toolkit: a SCHOMS, AUDE and UCISA collaboration
www.ucisa.ac.uk/learningspace
The UK Higher Education Learning Space Toolkit provides guidance for Audiovisual, IT and Estates teams, and demonstrates why the provision of excellent learning spaces should be a strategic, institution-wide concern.
Constructed from interviews from eleven experienced professionals, the Toolkit explores pedagogical principles and their place in learning space design, and gives an honest insight in to the realities of cross-professional working in universities
and colleges.
The Toolkit includes advice on: managing a learning space project, working with professional advisors, considerations for particular types of learning space, using learning technologies, the evaluation of learning spaces and changing working
practices.
The Toolkit was authored by Dr Gill Ferrell, with guidance from
Caroline Pepper, Learning and Teaching Space Manager, Loughborough University and Simon Birkett, IT and Learning Manager, University of Staffordshire (for SCHOMS); Eleanor Magennis, Head of Space Planning, University of Glasgow (for AUDE); and Anna
Mathews, Head of Policy and Projects (for UCISA). We have been overwhelmed with the support we have received from colleagues across the sector in the drafting process - publishing the Toolkit truly has been a community effort.
Best wishes
Anna
