"Yesterday I lectured and today I taught" A report on creative inquiry learning spaces: Actively connecting and engaging with students

The requirement for graduates from QUT to be curious, agile and resilient learners, coupled with new ways of working and a proliferation of mobile technologies, has triggered an urgent need for new approaches to learning and teaching. This development is aptly characterised by disruption and movement at all levels, with an emphasis on connecting with and engaging students (Nykvist, Mukherjee & McGraw, 2014). In order to maximise student learning, this inevitable disruption includes the physical and virtual spaces, technology provisions as well as the vital need for change of the role of the academic in these spaces. To this end, the Creative Inquiry Learning Space (CILS) prototyping project (KG S307/8) aims to explore how the Faculty of Education can actively address emerging learning and teaching practices that support QUT’s vision to produce graduate students who are ‘curious, agile and resilient learners’, who ‘will thrive in volatile environments’ (Real World Learning, 2020 Vision, QUT, 2016c, p.1). More importantly the project will investigate the extent to which learning environments that students prefer can be catered for at QUT and how academics can be adequately supported to reinvigorate their teaching practice to keep up with the current tide.
