商品簡介
Keppell (higher education, Charles Sturt U., Australia) et al. draw together 17 articles by researchers in higher education from Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and the UK who explore how higher education institutions and administrators need to reconceptualize, redesign, and rethink the use of space in the twenty-first century. They examine theoretical and practical perspectives on learning spaces, including distributed learning spaces, the emphasis on place in learning spaces and alternatives to them, viral spaces, and outdoor and environmentally integrated learning spaces. The second section covers institutional spaces while the third section addresses blended spaces, such as blogs. The final section discusses assessment in virtual spaces, creating an authentic learning environment for nurses, academic development for spaces, designing experiential spaces, and using student mentors.
