LSC (Learning Spaces Collaboratory) formerly known as Project Kaleidoscope or PKAL, has been offering terrific workshop on learning spaces for a number of years.  You will see below the offerings for this fall, including both in-person events and webinars.  Note that a major new resource, The LSC GUide to Planning & Assessing 21st Century Learning Spaces for 21st Century Learners will be available this fall.  When that publication comes out, I'll post a separate announcement.  I serve on the advisory committee of the LSC.
