Learning Spaces
" No longer is the traditional classroom space, most suited to a presentational format, the only kind of facility we need to pursue our goals of better learning and affiliation; many other kinds of spaces are required to achieve these goals. We need to support spaces that enable interchange between students and students as well as between students and faculty, spaces that allow students to stay engaged between class meetings, spaces that encourage use of instructional technology in learning. The campus must be rich in instructional spaces of many kinds."
Concept Paper of the Learning Environments Committee, IUPUI, August 2000
IPFW faces challenges and opportunities similar to those of its sister campus. Two initiatives have been launched to lay the foundation for facing these challenges: a strategic planning committee for instructional technology and the LEAD grant program . This web page provides faculty, staff, students, and the community with the opportunity to learn about and participate in these initiatives. It is also a resource for research on topics relevant to the design of learning environments, instructional technologies, case studies, and examples of instructional technology plans by other universities.
