In-between dominant
learning spaces
a gap in our thinking about interstitiality and learning
APT 2016 - Mind the Gap
50 minute workshop, July 2016
Andrew Middleton
Head of Academic Practice & Learning Innovation, Sheffield Hallam University
@andrewmid
Introduction
Seeing space differently
Aim and objective
 We will prove that technology and media can disrupt
instrumental thinking about the learning space
We will,
 Generate stories to discover new spaces for new ideas of
learning
 Envision learning in the digital-social age and what this means
for learning space and place
Introduction
Challenge: Push discourse beyond 'space as a technology'
Context
 Co-ordinating the University’s Furture Learning Spaces agenda
 Tendency to focus on or gravitate towards the technological and
operational (i.e. space, devices, VLEs, social media)…
 Not the experience of learning
 Danger: Who is looking after ‘Learning’, ‘Becoming’ and
‘Belonging’?
 Learning between dominant moments
 Let’s look at roles involved in developing learning spaces….
Who's involved and how do they think?
Who is looking after learning?

If we talk about learning what do people understand by that?
BTW - We will spend £millions on learning spaces without really understanding their value!
Binaries
Guess the binary
Fill in the blank
 Teaching and…
 Physical and…
 Passive and…
 Formal and…
 Synchronous and…
 How useful are these binaries in understanding learning and space?
 Change the ‘and’ for an ‘or’

Seeing space differently
Representational space
Space as it is perceived - ideas, imagination,
theory and vision
Representations of space
Space as it is conceived and
intended
Through signifiers such as maps,
plans, models, and designs

Finding the In-between space
Valuing the private, social, apparently inconsequential and the neglected space
In-Between Space
“Lifts, doorways, stairwells, toilets and cupboards
– these are the spaces that have been neglected
in our examination of work space, yet these are
spaces that are used and experienced most days
in most organizations – these spaces are
everywhere” (Shortt, 2014, p. 2).

Storytime: Where do you learn? Share stories in which personal and portable digital technologies and media play a
pivotal role at the intersection of formal and non-formal physical, digital hybrid learning space
Discuss where you learn best, or where you have to learn out of necessity
Make some notes about spaces or places and for each one identify important characteristics
The Digital Hybrid Learning Space – a Manifesto!
You need to convince managers to rethink the digital learning strategy…
A Manifesto for Future Learning Spaces - how we communicate ideas about Digital
Learning spaces to institutional colleagues with non-learning roles.
We discussed:
• Learning happens in and out of the classroom and the design of all provided learning
space needs to address diversity and complexity as a design problem.
• Learning is:
• directed, self-directed, self-determined and sometimes uncertain
• deliberative and planned, reactive and spontaneous, and implicit and tacit
• lifewide and diverse, taking different forms, at different times, in different places, for
different people
• often serendipitous
• flexible and generative, rather than prescribed or assigned
• (Continues on the next page)
The Digital Hybrid Learning Space – a Manifesto!
You need to convince managers to rethink the digital learning strategy…
A Manifesto for Future Learning Spaces - how we communicate ideas about Digital
Learning spaces to institutional colleagues with non-learning roles. (continued):
• Learning can be inhibited by being overly constrained
• Learning happens and can be stimulated by moving between spaces and in adjacency to
spaces of different designations
• Learning happens at different paces and in different places in self-designated spaces
• Learning can be enhanced by connection to meaningful external authentic contexts,
including virtual, professional and real world contexts
• Learning often happens alongside 'knowledgeable others' in open and easily accessible
physical and digital spaces
• Access to learning space needs to flexibly account for time constraints and other
commitments of students and staff wherever they are in the world
• Learning spaces are eclectic where assessment practices promote curiosity and
personalised learning
• Deep learning never takes place in designated space – learning is personal!

Editor's Notes

  1. In-between dominant learning spaces: a gap in our thinking about interstitiality and learning A profound understanding of the higher education learning space is emerging through recent works that pay more attention to the learner's experience than to creating landmark architecture. (Harrison & Hutton, 2013). The aim of the workshop is to prove that technology and media can disrupt instrumental thinking about the learning space. It will, introduce the problem of learning binaries (10 minutes) introduce the concepts of in-between space in relation to hybrid learning, and liminality (10 minutes) generate and share stories in small groups in which personal and portable digital technologies and media play a pivotal role at the intersection of formal and non-formal physical, digital hybrid learning space (25 minutes) conclude by devising a manifesto for liminal learning! The session will build upon ideas of Third Space and hybridity (Gutiérrez et al., 1999), in-between space (Shortt, 2014) and liminality (Turner, 1969). Participants will co-produce stories and discover new spaces for new ideas of learning. There is a gulf between views that perpetuate outmoded forms of higher education and our future aspirations for learning in hybrid, connective spaces. We need to overcome resistance to, and fear of, the transformed learning space and relinquish the persistent realities of yesterday’s structures and cultures. We need to embrace transformative thinking based on what we know about people, learning, space and today’s digital technologies. Binaries are often used to describe higher education learning, which are convenient but mostly meaningless: physical-virtual, formal-informal, teaching-learning, private-public, and others. In this workshop we will explore learning binaries and reveal them to be barriers to understanding deep, rich and hidden learning continua with which we can transform learning. A key idea behind liminality is the ritual of passing from one state to another (Turner, 1969). As we examine and break down learning binaries we will identify ritual transition points which can be used to challenge, inspire or shift the learner from dependent directed learner to independent, autonomous and self-determined learner. However, we will also consider ideas like translocation, displacement and alienation in order to understand the learner’s sense of being lost or out of sight in-between conceptions of dominant learning spaces. We will reflect on the role of the digital in facilitating transition through the learning space. References Daskalaki, M., Butler, C.L., & Petrovic, J. (2012).

APT 16 Greenwich 50 minute workshop Theme: Differences between views: addressing the challenges and unintended consequences we risk in advocating institutional change, overcoming resistance and fear; tackling institutional structures and cultures that sit at odds with the aspirations and realities of teaching and learning today Give a clear description (400 words) that includes: The relevance of the topic to your chosen conference theme(s) The importance of the topic to academic practice and technology Reference to appropriate theory, research and/or practice For a practical session, the learning outcomes for participants and proposed activities including approximate timings https://showtime.gre.ac.uk/index.php/ecentre/apt2016/schedConf/index Tuesday 5 July, 2016 Greenwich Maritime Campus The 14th annual Academic Practice and Technology (APT) Conference will take place on Tuesday July 5th 2016. "Mind the gap: changing institution practice: APT in the post-digital age"will focus attention on the ‘gaps’, real or perceived, in the contemporary educational landscape: e.g. between technology and teaching, learning and assessment, staff developers and staff practitioners, students’ expectations and achievement, and individual aspirations and institutional realities. ‘Mind the gap’ is most commonly a warning to beware of the abyss between train and platform. This year it is also the rallying cry for the APT conference. On one hand, the word ‘gap’ may evoke a sense of deficit, an exploration of missing pieces; on the other, it invites an alertness to opportunity, the potential to capitalise on innovations which might have already demonstrated their worth elsewhere. APT 2016 will focus attention on the ‘gaps’, real or perceived, in the contemporary educational landscape: e.g. between technology and teaching, learning and assessment, staff developers and staff practitioners, students’ expectations and achievement, and individual aspirations and institutional realities. We invite you to explore the role of academic practice and technology in identifying, avoiding, reducing or even exploiting such gaps; to share how you are ‘minding the gap’ yourself; to debate the impact of widening and narrowing gaps on teaching and learning; and to creatively address the tensions arising from them. As always, the conference will provide an exciting opportunity to network with colleagues from the UK and abroad at the historic Maritime Greenwich campus, a World Heritage site. Conference themes APT 2016 seeks papers, proposals for innovative workshops and lightning talks that interpret the metaphor of a ‘gap’ in one of the more of these ways: The digital divide: seeking ways to improve digital literacy and professional capability so that practitioners, students and institutions can make effective use of technology in academic practice and bridge the gap between expectations and aspirations in a changing educational environment; scaling innovation across disciplines and contexts. Shifting boundaries: exploring how cross-institutional and cross-cultural approaches, and inter-disciplinarity and trans-disciplinarity can create new and challenging opportunities for learning; challenges to the status quo. Opportunities: promoting practices, examples, case studies and innovations that have the potential to effect change and enhance staff-student relationships and/or link academia with employers; alumni and professional communities; to develop and deliver innovative technology-enhanced curricula, using technology to change the debate or find new ways to do teaching and learning; to connect and collaborate; to improve links with industry. Differences between views: addressing the challenges and unintended consequences we risk in advocating institutional change, overcoming resistance and fear; tackling institutional structures and cultures that sit at odds with the aspirations and realities of teaching and learning today Hiatus: engaging in critical reflection, evaluation, analytics and research to fill the gaps in our knowledge and understand better the role and impact of technology in academic practice and policy. We also welcome papers on other themes that explore academic practice with technology through the metaphor of the ‘gap’. Closing date for submissions: Monday 7th March 2016.

  5. The problem of learning binaries Quick activity - reveal the binary: Teaching - Learning Physical - Virtual Etc
  6. Andrew A pair of slides that illustrate the futility of binaries as obstructing ‘the richest space of all” “In borderland spaces the traditional power hierarchies of higher education may be scrutinized and destabilized, enabling students to draw more freely from their own experiences and to work in partnership with each other and with faculty, prompting the construction of new identities (Giroux, 1992; Kazanjian, 2011). The division between teaching and learning becomes blurred as students adopt the role of tutor, whilst tutors act as facilitators and, in so doing, can learn a great deal from their students. Thus, borderland spaces are unprescribed and remain open to being shaped by the processes of learning experienced by their participants, rather than being constrained by pre-defined objectives laid down by the curriculum (Savin-Baden, 2008). Borderland spaces are permissive spaces, allowing genuine dialogue to take place and offering opportunities for co-inquiry and reflection between students and faculty (Lodge, 2005). Here, students can be empowered to participate in their learning so that they might actively shape both their learning experiences and those of succeeding cohorts.” Hill, J., Thomas, G., Diaz, A. and Simm, D.

In three ways: the perceived, the conceived, and the lived Lefebvre's Spatial Triad The Production of Space (Lefebvre, 1974/1991) Representational space ideas, imagination, theory and vision the space of inhabitants and users. It is the passively experienced space Lefebvre describes representational space as the space of inhabitants and users Representations of Space signifiers such as maps, plans, models, and designs Space as it is conceived and intended Spatial practice of a society daily routine and reality as lived and evidenced
  9. In-between space 10 minutes The session will build upon ideas of Third Space, Third Place (Oldenburg, 1989) and hybridity (Gutiérrez et al., 1999), in-between space (Shortt, 2014) and liminality (Turner, 1969). Third Space  (Gutiérrez et al., 1999): the idea of a Third Space where teacher and students scripts intersect around the formal and informal, the official and the unofficial spaces of the learning environment creating the potential for authentic interaction. It is a transformative space Third Place (Oldenberg, 1989): Neutral ground - where individuals are free to come and go with little obligation; Leveller - rank and status are mostly left at the door and participation is open to all; Conversation - the main mode of participation is conversation and Oldenburg highlights the importance of playfulness and wit; Accessibility and accommodation - the place is easy to access and use; Regulars - the narrative and identity of the place is sustained by a core group of regulars; Low profile - the space is unpretentious and homely; A home from home - exhibiting traits of rootedness, feelings of possession, spiritual regeneration, feelings of being at ease, warm (Seamon, 1979). Hybridity: - refers to the significant value found in contiguous situations where at least one space is recognisable as formal teaching space. Spaces that accommodate multiple purposes, roles, perspectives and modalities, characterised by multiplied hybrid identity, integrated and seamless, the need to separate the e-learning environment from a traditional conception of physically-located pedagogies Interstitial space an intervening space apparently less consequential than the dominant spaces or phenomena a small space or interval Interstitial space can be temporal, or spatial and visible.
