From Herman Miller:
How Innovation Can Thrive on Campus as accessible from this web page:
Excerpt:
Innovation has a long tradition on campus. But many universities are seeking new ways to get more students innovating. Programs that work outside traditional academic parameters, often called Innovation Centers, are having success. One contributor to their success is the spaces in which innovation teams operate. They are as organic as the process of innovation is.

- Classroom Redesign: Strategies for Rethinking Learning Spaces
Session Description:
Connective technologies, mobile devices, and new global learning opportunities are reshaping how, what and where people learn. Conversely, traditional brick and mortar schools are composed of decades-old classrooms designed to support a different type of learning from a different age. So, do our current schools, to maintain relevance and effectiveness, need to rethink how their spaces are used to support learning in a connected world? The answer is yes. In this session, we’ll explore exemplars of physical space design and strategies for rethinking how “classrooms” can be rethought to support a more contemporary learning experience.
Above slide shows 1-5 of a total of 17 strategies.
Collaboration Curriculum: Managing Active Learning Environments — from avnetwork.com by Carolyn Heinze
Excerpt:
Tech managers in higher education should plan to support more active learning environments.
A recent study conducted by EDUCAUSE found that a majority of undergraduates own two to three Internet-enabled devices, and the more of these devices they own, the more they’re inclined to see the advantages of applying technology to their education. For those tech managers that are still gunning against BYOD, this suggests—strongly—that they’re fighting a losing battle.
