As a follow-up to the recent Cephi conference in Sydney, BVN architects gave some MLC staff the chance to here Ewan McIntosh speak about the future of learning spaces. Here is my reflection on his talk and some recordings from it. (Doug, Jun 28)

In relation to the learning community McIntosh discussed the concept of opening schools and the information created within them to the community. Whether this was simply by allowing other users to comment and see websites built and created by students, or simply by projecting presentations / movies / content from the school on to an external wall of the school rather than internal. He even suggested turning an open local community or school space in to a learning celebration style TropFest scenario.





Here is a short excerpt of his workshop. In this video he talks about the concept of different spaces and gives an example of the power of "gamification". media type="youtube" key="egsmsxCMDEY?hl=en" height="344" width="425"
