"Place and Space in the Design of New Learning Environments" (2000),
by Dr Peter Jamieson, Monash University; Kenn Fisher, Flinders University; Dr Tony Gilding, Victoria University of Technology; Dr Peter G. Taylor, Griffith University; and Dr A.C.F. (Chris) Trevitt, Australian National University.
The paper highlights examples of recent developments of new learning environments which have been enhanced by the contribution of educational developers at several Australian universities. It also proposes a set of pedagogically-informed principles to guide the development of on-campus teaching and learning environments (which may feature the use of new communication and information technologies).
What link can be established between successful teaching and learning, and school design? Three examples of large-scale school construction and renovation projects in France may go some way towards answering this question.
