Dear cni-announce subscribers: I have been on the advisory group for this innovative project that I think will be of great assistance to many of our members. Please check it out and send comments and examples to the Toolkit Team (see instructions below). --Joan Lippincott, CNI ------------------------------ We are happy to announce the release of the
first half of the Learning
Space Toolkit (http://learningspacetoolkit.org). Roadmap, Needs Assessment and
Services content has been posted with the rest coming soon. The Toolkit will be
complete by November. The
Learning Space Toolkit is a freely available resource designed to support the
full lifecycle of a learning space
design project,
from defining the goals and needs to designing the space to supporting it. By using
the Toolkit, institutions will be better equipped to orchestrate the planning
process so that learners are better supported and spaces, technology, and
services are effective. Watch this video (http://youtu.be/bjd8TQnXm5E) for an overview. Also watch for an Educause
ELI webinar on the Toolkit on November 19. Please check out the Toolkit and send us your
ideas and reactions. What’s not there that you would like to see? What elements
could be more useful if they included something else? There are Feedback links
on the website or you can email us directly at
info@learningspacetoolkit.org. We are also interested in hearing about your
institution's informal learning spaces. Please submit one or more of your spaces
for consideration as featured examples in the Toolkit. If you would like to
nominate an excellent space that we shouldn’t overlook, please fill out this survey (http://bit.ly/lstkspaces)
to let us know (or email us at info@learningspacetoolkit.org). Thank you, The Learning Space Toolkit Team NCSU Libraries and DELTA, brightspot
strategy, DEGW 
The Learning Space Toolkit project is made possible by
a National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
