In this webinar, we will step = back from exploring specific =93built=94 spaces=97libraries, common = spaces, teaching labs, etc.  With three thoughtful practitioners as = our guide, we will explore some dimensions of learning space = research:
=B7What it = is

=B7How does = it inform the planning process
=B7How to = start on a small scale, small budget (critical first = steps)
Each of these = facilitators=97Elliot Felix, Dana Gierdowski, and Bonnie Sanborn=97brings = distinctive expertise to this exploration:
 
=B7         Elliot = works with leading higher education, cultural, and corporate = organizations to create strategies that improve the experiences of their = people. He'll contribute expertise on post-occupancy evaluations to = measure the success of spaces to improve them and inform the next = ones.

Her portfolio = of research on learning spaces incorporates attention to diverse types = of spaces. She teaches writing-intensive courses in higher ed and her = most recent work focuses on writing = classrooms.
=B7         Bonnie, = trained as an anthropologist, puts her lens on how learning from a space = can help understanding all kinds of user needs and behaviors. Her = current research emphasis is on social behavior in collaborative or = informal spaces.
No matter the stage of your = planning or the scope or intent of your project, the explorations in = this webinar are designed to challenge participants to embrace = assessment more readily, understand who needs to be = involved, translate what they are learning from assessment to enhance = the physical, social, and intellectual learning environments for all = undergraduates.
New ways of thinking about = learning spaces are happening across the continent, as illustrated = by a story in The Globe = and Mail. Thanks to Bruno Gnassi, University Librarian, Bishop=92s = University in Quebec.
