Reframing Space for Learning : Excellence and Innovation in University Teaching

The concept, use, and experiences of "space" in higher education have a deep influence on students and teachers. Reframing Space for Learning uniquely explores space as both a "learning place" that may be physical, virtual, in work or in the field, and a "belonging space" in which learners and teachers can engage and develop individually and collectively. Featuring the work of 40 experienced university teachers, most of whom are UK National Teaching Fellows, the book describes and analyzes innovative ways of using place and space for learning in a range of disciplines in higher education. In so doing, it provides practical ideas, solutions and inspiration for practitioners responsible for delivering learning in spaces within and outside universities, nationally and internationally, for undergraduates, postgraduates, adult learners and staff. National Teaching Fellowships, awarded by the UK's Higher Education Academy, celebrate and recognize individuals who have made an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the learning and teaching profession in higher education.
