Creating learning spaces to meet the needs of tomorrow

This page explains what we aim to achieve by focusing on the theme of 'learning spaces', and points to key content on the site which is relevant to this theme.

Vision

Futurelab’s learning spaces programme will:

  • equip education leaders with the tools required to envisage and create transformed educational learning spaces
  • model and research radically new technology enhanced learning spaces.

We will achieve this through:

  • building partnerships with schools, colleges, local authorities, architects and policy makers to develop new models of consultation, educational visioning and ideas development in preparation for capital investment programmes
  • building partnerships with industry and research communities to create experimental learning spaces that allow educators and technologists to model future educational experiences through cutting edge technology and pedagogy.

Outputs from the programme will include:

  • tools for educators and policy makers
  • exemplars of future learning spaces
  • evidence to inform and inspire industry, educators and the wider community.
