Crit's talk is called, "A Space of One's Own: Learning Environments Derived from User- Centered Discovery Techniques". No charge, but registration required at . All EDUCAUSE Live! events are archived. Summary: Academic libraries are committed to delivering new or improved learning spaces for students. Information/learning commons are de rigueur for libraries seeking to refresh and deepen their engagements with undergraduate learners. The most noteworthy learning environments provide enhanced productivity capacities; exposure to collections and digital information; skills training for knowledge creation; and development of information, verbal, written, and multimedia fluencies. While it is tempting to mimic learning space solutions delivered by other libraries, such appropriation circumvents staff-owned discovery processes that create a deep understanding of, and commitment to, what is being built. Smart preprogramming assessment techniques that tap into user wisdom, learning habits, and research needs provide a helpful framework for identifying needed solutions. This presentation will review a number of user-centered programming assessment techniques that are field- tested, easy to modify and extemporize on, and reliable in producing excellent data for constructing informed building programs. --Apple-Mail-38--458007542 Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable CNI-announce subscribers may be = interested in this upcoming program featuring my colleague Crit Stuart = from ARL discussing user-centered techniques for conducting needs = assessment for learning spaces.
