This document discusses new approaches to learning space design and pedagogy. It defines learning spaces as physical, blended, or virtual environments that enhance learning. It discusses trends like blended learning and challenges in designing learning ecosystems. It advocates for guiding pedagogies like authentic and personalized learning. Principles of learning space design include comfort, aesthetics, flow and blending physical and digital resources. The goal is to empower learners through developing knowledge, skills and attitudes to continue learning.

5. Defining Learning Spaces
• Physical, blended or virtual
learning environments that
enhance learning
• Physical, blended or virtual
‘areas’ that motivate a learner
to learn
6. Defining Learning Spaces
• Spaces where both teachers
and learners optimise the
perceived and actual
affordances of the space
• Spaces that promote
authentic learning
interactions (Keppell &
Riddle, 2012, 2013).
15. Authentic Learning
• …require students to complete
complex real-world tasks over
a period of time in collaboration
with others as they would in a
real setting or workplace
(Herrington, 2006)
16. Authentic Assessment
• Empowering the learner by
engaging them in assessment
tasks that simulate or engage
the learner in real-life
situations.
• “Engaging and worthy
problems or questions of
importance, in which students
must use knowledge to fashion
performances effectively and
creatively” (Wiggins, 1993, p.
229).
17. Personalised Learning
• Learning pathways
• ePortfolios
• The knowledge, skills and
attitudes that enable learning
and act as a catalyst to
empower the learner to continue
to learn (Keppell, 2015)
18. Peer Learning
• Students teaching and
learning from each other.
• Sharing ideas, knowledge
and experiences
• Emphasises interdependent
as opposed to independent
learning (Boud, 2001).
20. Principles of Learning Space Design
• Comfort: a space which
creates a physical and mental
sense of ease and well-being
• Aesthetics: pleasure which
includes the recognition of
symmetry, harmony, simplicity
and fitness for purpose
• Flow: the state of mind felt by
the learner when totally
involved in the learning
experience
21. Principles of Learning Space Design
• Equity: consideration of the needs
of cultural and physical differences
• B l e n d i n g : a m i x t u r e o f
technological and face-to-face
pedagogical resources
• A f f o r d a n c e s : t h e “ a c t i o n
p o s s i b i l i t i e s ” t h e l e a r n i n g
environment provides the users
• Repurposing: the potential for
multiple usage of a space (Souter,
Riddle, Keppell, 2010)
37. Levels of Digital Literacies
• Digital Competency
• knowing how to use digital
tools
• Digital Fluency
• applying digital knowledge
and skills
• Digital Design
• user-generated content
• ‘learner-as-designer’
39. Seamless Learning
• Continuity of learning
across a combination of
locations, times, technologies
or social settings (Sharples,
et al, 2012, 2013).
40. Levels of Seamless Learning
• On-campus
• comfortable with formal
and informal spaces
• Virtual campus
• comfortable with blended,
online, social media
• Anywhere
• trains, cafes, teleworking

learner to continue to
learn (Keppell, 2015)
