1. A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice for an Open Access, Peer Reviewed Learning Space Repository Lisa Stephens Senior Strategist – SUNY Academic Innovation Joseph Moreau CTO & Vice Chancellor – Foothill-De Anza Community College District Mark McCallister Associate Director - Office of Academic Technology, University of Florida Clare van den Blink Director - Academic Technologies, Cornell University

2. Roots of FLEXspace: Committed Stakeholders Began with the SUNY Innovative Instruction Pilot Followed by a national “listening tour” CCUMC NMC Horizon Summit ELI Annual Meeting Sloan C - MERLOT

3. Strategic Level Project Value “Why should we invest resources in this project?” Opportunity Cost - Demonstrate/Measure ROI Supports agile renovation cycles Content capture for new educational delivery platforms (Dev. Edu., Online, Tutorial) Design standards to support active learning Promotes consistent understanding of terminology across various instructional support disciplines Synergy with other national efforts (ELI, SCUP)

4. Operational/Functional Project Value “How does this help functional education needs?” Open Education Repository Built on Successful Proof of Concept Engages Best Practices Offers Peer Review Robust, Reliable Hosting Sponsorship Interest (envisioned as no-cost to.edu) More than photos & video: offers web interaction, community building and referral opportunities

5. Production Service Migration Database Taxonomies are the Key!

6. Post Conferences ”Listening Tour” Taxonomy Refinement Need to Revise original Taxonomy into three separate Domains: A/V Integration Facilities Integration Learning Space Typologies & Assessment Incorporate details as necessary within each domain

7. Original Taxonomy

8. Data Upload Interface Separate “Input Domain” for each Taxonomy

9. A/V Integration Taxonomy Review Defining/refining A/V vs. Facilities Fields Technology Touchscreens Conferencing Features Projection/Display Systems Local and enterprise-level content capture Mobile initiatives All basic features necessary to properly outfit a classroom based on pedagogical needs and facilities parameters

10. Facilities and Architectural Review Facilities Design and Functional Considerations Fit and Finish Components Natural and artificial lighting Acoustics Facilities engineering All basic features necessary for aesthetic and code/safety compliance, maximizing A/V and pedagogical parameters

11. Learning & Assessment Typology Rubric Development How can a taxonomy or rubric capture what teaching and learning activities are enabled or supported by the space and technology? Assessment of Learning Effectiveness Features necessary to respond to faculty and student teaching and learning needs. Additional challenge of expressing measurement (e.g. ELI “Seeking Evidence of Impact”)

12. Learning & Assessment Learning Activities What is enabled by the space and technology features? Foundational pedagogy of space approach Inquiry based, learner driven inquiry, faculty directed/facilitated, etc. Relationships enabled: teacher-student, student-student Types of interactions, lectures vs. discussion, team collaborations, 1-1 partnerships, problem solving, etc. Scale: size of space/environment, class size, number of locations Related Information: Participants characteristics Location (face-to-face vs. virtual)

I Want to Help Realize the Flexible Learning Environments eXchange!” Shared Shelf Live Link to FLEXspace (Password Required for Now) Other Resources: Quick Google Search Resources: “Sloan ET4 + FLEXspace” = Current Files “CCUMC + Repository” = Conference Demo “ELI + Poster Sessions + FLEXspace” = Multiple Files

18. Feedback and Needs Assessment Do architects resonate with this vision? How might this resource be made stronger from AIA perspective? How can FLEXspace best serve your resource needs?
