Defining Learning Spaces
• Physical, blended or virtual
learning environments that
enhance learning
• Physical, blended or virtual
‘areas’ that motivate a learner
to learn
Defining Learning Spaces
• Spaces where both
teachers and learners
optimise the perceived
and actual affordances of
the space
• Spaces that promote
authentic learning
interactions (Keppell &
Riddle, 2012, 2013).

Guiding Pedagogies
Authentic Learning
• …require students to complete
complex real-world tasks over
a period of time in collaboration
with others as they would in a
real setting or workplace
(Herrington, 2006)
Authentic Assessment
• Empowering the learner by
engaging them in assessment
tasks that simulate or engage
the learner in real-life
situations.
• “Engaging and worthy
problems or questions of
importance, in which students
must use knowledge to fashion
performances effectively and
creatively” (Wiggins, 1993, p.
229).
Personalised Learning
• Learning pathways
• ePortfolios
• The knowledge, skills and
attitudes that enable learning
and act as a catalyst to
empower the learner to continue
to learn (Keppell, 2015)
Peer Learning
• Students teaching and
learning from each other.
• Sharing ideas, knowledge
and experiences
• Emphasises interdependent
as opposed to independent
learning (Boud, 2001).
Designing Spaces
Principles of Learning Space Design
• Comfort:  a space  which
creates a physical and mental
sense of ease and well-being
• Aesthetics: pleasure which
includes the recognition of
symmetry, harmony, simplicity
and fitness for purpose
• Flow: the state of mind felt by
the learner when totally
involved in the learning
experience
Principles of Learning Space Design
• Equity: consideration of the needs of
cultural and physical differences
• Blending: a mixture of technological
and face-to-face pedagogical
resources
• Affordances: the “action possibilities”
the learning environment provides the
users
• Repurposing: the potential for
multiple usage of a space (Souter,
Riddle, Keppell, 2010)

Development
Empowering our
Learners
Knowledge Skills and Attitudes
• Knowledge is now co-
created
• Skills form a basis for
learning
• Attitudes influence
beliefs and behaviours
Personalised Learning Toolkit
• Digital literacies
• Seamless learning
• Self-regulated learning
• Learning-oriented
assessment
• Lifelong and life-wide
learning
• Flexible learning pathways
Levels of Digital Literacies
• Digital Competency
• knowing how to use digital
tools
• Digital Fluency
• applying digital knowledge
and skills
• Digital Design
• user-generated content
• ‘learner-as-designer’
Levels of Seamless Learning
• On-campus
• comfortable with formal
and informal spaces
• Virtual campus
• comfortable with blended,
online, social media
• Anywhere
• trains, cafes, teleworking
