A short but on-the-money video from University of Oklahoma (via EDUCAUSE) about designing active learning spaces. Key tips are:
- Identify your vision
- Don’t design towards a budget
- Identify your non-negotiables
- Real-estate is important – but don’t cram them in like sardines
- Focus on sustainability from the outset
I particularly liked the following very astute comment:
“…until wireless video and wireless power are everywhere, flexibility and technology don’t go hand in hand.”
– Chris Kobza – managing director for learning spaces at the University of Oklahoma
