Subject: Evaluating Learning Spaces - ELI Seminar
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Mac OS X Mail 6.6 \(1510\))

Dear cni-announce subscribers:

I'll be co-facilitating a seminar "Evaluating Learning Spaces: Methods =
for Developing a Campus-Based Project" at the upcoming ELI (EDUCAUSE =
Learning Initiative) annual meeting with Joseph Cevetello, Director of =
Learning Environments at University of Southern California and J.D. =
Walker, Research Associate at University of Minnesota.   ELI has =
provided the means for us to develop a blended format, so that we will =
have an online pre-meeting for this seminar on January 22 and a =
follow-up webinar on March 3 as well as the half-day, in-person seminar =
at the ELI meeting in New Orleans on February 3.  We encourage campus =
team participation, especially for the webinar components.

The seminar will focus on methods for measuring the effectiveness of =
learning spaces, and on enabling participants to gain the knowledge =
needed to formulate research questions and choose appropriate methods in =
order to implement an effective and practical campus learning space =
evaluation project.  There are many opportunities for developing =
assessments of learning spaces and we will explore a wide range of =
alternatives for both classrooms and informal learning spaces.

Further information including how to register for the fee-based seminar =
are at:
