Middleton, A. (2018) Reimagining Spaces for Learning in Higher Education

Abstract

‘Where do you learn best?’ is the question that Middleton asks in the preface, and promptly follows with an exploration and discussion of spaces and places for different types of learning in the context of the emerging digital-social age. From the get-go he considers the learning, rather than the teaching, and thus usefully refocuses this issue from an institutional to a learner-centred one. Case studies featuring both teacher and student perspectives are utilised to introduce authentic learning (and teaching) situations and their uses of space.
