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. --Joan Lippincott, CNI --------------------------------
