I attended a Learning Spaces webinar that provided a tour of Penn State’s Learning Spaces. It was so interesting and something our office has been discussing. I began researching Flexible Learning Spaces, since it is a project our office is planning on proposing later this month. I think we may even have 4 – 55’’ monitors available as a donation to the project.
I found quite a few resources – videos, websites, articles, and books – that I’ve compiled and shared with our office. I feel like I was a little in the weeds with the project, because I saw where the resources could include those that are reputable, but not peer-reviewed articles. Those happened to be my favorites for this project. It would have been better to have had several stronger resources in addition to the ones I used.
Traveling to Blackboard World while working on the project was challenging too. I brought my Mac Air on the trip, so that is what I used for making my video and training outline. It was challenging to just use one little screen when I’m used to working with two or three larger ones. Next time I would include more scholarly resources, which would make the overall project easier, and hopefully not be traveling. This project very well may have an impact right down the hall from me. It’s exciting to me, because it may become a reality very soon.
