a weblog devoted to the future of design, tracking the innovations in technology, practices and materials that are pushing architecture and home design towards a smarter and more sustainable future.

This ebook might be useful reading - it has info about the design of physical and virtual spaces - exploring learner expectations, teaching approaches and technolgoy.

Space, whether physical or virtual, can have a significant impact on learning. Learning Spaces focuses on how learner expectations influence such spaces, the principles and activities that facilitate learning, and the role of technology from the perspective of those who create learning environments: faculty, learning technologists, librarians, and administrators. Information technology has brought unique capabilities to learning spaces, whether stimulating greater interaction through the use of collaborative tools, videoconferencing with international experts, or opening virtual worlds for exploration. This e-book represents an ongoing exploration as we bring together space, technology, and pedagogy to ensure learner success. ©2006 EDUCAUSE ISBN 0-9672853-8-0

This infokit (Infokit is the name of JISC's resource collections) about 'Learning Spaces' should be useful.

JISC (The Joint Information Systems Committee) have quality information which promotes good practice and highlights innovation. This site has lots of resources and case studies related to 'Planning and Designing Technology-Rich Learning Spaces'.

This resource is old (2003) but the principles identified might still be useful.

This paper provides a framework of thirty-three educational design principles from which educators and design professionals can structure the content of their educational facility development process, from the earliest strategic and educational planning right through to design, construction, occupancy and facility management. The principles are divided into educational facility planning and design process principles, principles for site and building organization, principles for primary educational space, principles for shared school and community facilities, community spaces, principles related to the character of all spaces, and principles related to site design and outdoor learning spaces.

I think this might be useful for information about 'how different spaces can support different kinds of learning, and ways in which technology can be used to enhance learning spaces.'

Creating learning spaces to meet the needs of tomorrow This page explains what futurelab aim's to achieve by focusing on the theme of 'learning spaces', and points to key content on the site which is relevant to this theme.
