7 Things You Should Know About the Modern Learning Commons | EDUCAUSE - 4 views

psutlt LearningSpaces commons library

shared by Cole Camplese on 26 Apr 11 - No Cached
  • The learning commons, sometimes called an “information commons,” has evolved from a combination library and computer lab into a full-service learning, research, and project space. As a place where students can meet, talk, study, and use “borrowed” equipment, the learning commons brings together the functions of libraries, labs, lounges, and seminar areas in a single community gathering place. The cost of a learning commons can be an obstacle, but for institutions that invest in a sophisticated learning commons, the new and expanded partnerships across disciplines facilitate and promote greater levels of collaboration. The commons invites students to devise their own approaches to their work and to transfer what they learn in one course to the work they do for another.

    This is a critical discussion today and will be more important going forward. If TLT wants to create a vision related to creating the best learning spaces in higher education we need to better understand what is and isn't working.  My emerging goal is to establish a strategic direction that has us look at our spaces on a continuum from very informal to very formal in a consistent and systematic way.

    The writing process around this particular 7 Things paper was a lot of fun. I got a real sense that what we're doing with the Media Commons spaces, especially plans for the Knowledge Commons and Ritenour are in line with the kinds of spaces being developed at other universities. There was a lot of discussion around the political side of these spaces since the physical space, staffing, and resources don't fall into a neat hierarchy of organizational structure. Anyway, I'd really enjoy being part of a discussion about space design. There are a set of recommendations that the informal learning spaces group generated two years ago that haven't been acted upon. Not that those recommendations are still the right way to go, but it's a starting point for some of the discussion: http://tlt.its.psu.edu/about/reports/2009/Learning-Spaces-Vision.pdf/view

    "Zohra Guisse, a lecturer in French and Arabic at Penn State Berks, is one of 11 faculty members selected across the University to participate in Penn State's Mobile Media Pilot program. The program, an initiative of the Penn State Media Commons, will explore how mobile devices can be used in students' media production workflow."

    Social Media are not essential facilities. Those who claim that Facebook is a "social utility" or "social commons" must admit that such sites are not essential to survival, economic success, or online life. Unlike water and electricity, life can go on without social networking services.

    "If the campus instructional designers had a mobile media kit, how would they use it? We weren't sure and Jackie didn't want to speak for all of them, so we sent out a survey and got back some really interesting ideas including ones like these: To record and share case studies for faculty development purposes To interview students about how they learn or their reactions to different kinds of course activities To create audio and video content for hybrid and online courses To create just-in-time video tutorials for things like solving difficult math equations To document the design of learning spaces and reactions of faculty and students who use those spaces To capture guest speakers so their presentations can be seen by future students To record the stories about diversity from LGBT and minority students To collect evidence of the impact of a campus on its local community through efforts like service learning projects To record student presentations in ESL and foreign language courses so students can hear their speech"

    "Eighty-seven percent of college students surveyed said they considered their institution's technology when selecting their college. This finding is also reflected in CDW-G's 21st-Century Classroom Report, which looked at educational technology in K-12 and found that 92 percent of current high school students say technology is an important consideration as they evaluate colleges.

    Jamie posted this to the Facebook wall and I thought it was worth looking at further. It's connected to what we are doing with our classrooms, Media Commons, EGC, learning space designs, Knowledge Commons, and mobile learning projects.

    Oh - and it reminds me of the University of Michigan learning spaces designs - Cole took pictures. I think it's their North Quad.

    I wasn't able to download the report w/o creating an account, but I'm curious *what* technologies are important to students as it pertains to selecting a university. Another highlight claimed that both faculty and students find 'virtual learning' and 'e-reader/mobile technologies' important. Not sure if those are the top 2 things kids look at when selecting a university...I would find that somewhat hard to believe. I know bandwidth cap still plays a role here in terms of on-campus housing post freshman year. Wonder if that also plays a role in university selection.
