Learning Space Innovations to Influence Design and Understand Learning Experiences

The design and evaluation of active learning spaces are two sides of the same coin. Both sides challenge institutions to be creative in the ways they inform design of learning spaces then subsequently evaluate their efficacy. Learn about what Penn State and Indiana University are doing in both areas and, more importantly, engage in conversation about ways colleagues at other colleges and universities are innovating. As presenters and participants share ideas, a takeaway Google document will be generated to curate strategies for influencing stakeholders and getting beyond postoccupancy surveys.

Outcomes: Identify at least one innovative strategy for influencing space design * Identify at least one innovative strategy for understanding teaching and learning experiences in ALCs * Connect with a network of colleagues from various institutions that are contributing to work related to active learning spaces
