Creation of the Learning Space: Catalysts for Envisioning and Navigating the Design Process
Wedge, Carole C.; Kearns, Thomas D.
EDUCAUSE Review, v40 n4 p32, 34-38 Jul-Aug 2005
Although the learning environments at various institutions are by no means exactly the same, they do share similarities. Without exception, the campus community is the strength of the institution, and the physical environment supports the community and fosters its uniqueness. The following model for envisioning and navigating the design process focuses on this community -- that is, on the people, not the technologies. This model is thus applicable to all institutions exploring the spaces needed on campus. The key to creating the best process, activities, and solution, however, is asking the right questions. Some of these questions are posed here for the design planning group to use and expand upon as the group begins the discovery process of envisioning and designing learning environments
