Guest blog for WISE (Qatar) on re-designing spaces for learning — from the professional blog of Stephen Harris, Director & Founder of the Sydney Centre for Innovation in Learning – www.scil.nsw.edu.au

Excerpt:

My focus is the key importance of spatial awareness in redesigning spaces for learning. I hope the second decade of this century will be marked by an awareness that redesigning spaces will be as important to change processes, as describing the new skills deemed necessary for learning and career creation in the last decade. I will focus on our journey of change as a case study for education redesign.

The benefits are well captured in this equation:
180 students + 6 teachers + one agile space + collaborative learning + BYOD (bring your own device) = engaged learners + zero behavior issues.
