DESIGNING BLENDED LEARNING SPACE TO THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE Chapter 11 . Designing Blended Learning Space to the Student Experience

The Emerging Student Experience What we think of as cutting-edge learning technologies today differ significantly from just a decade ago. Students themselves are changing, too, as their practices are shaped by the technological environment.1 A majority of today's college students would probably not first associate cut-and-paste with scissors and glue; for them technologies like digital cameras have always existed.2 And yet the processes we use to develop technology-enhanced learning spaces have not changed significantly in the past several decades. This chapter explores the space design process in the context of today's technological landscape and suggests ways the process can change to become more effective.
