Trends in Informal Space Design - Audio from ELI '05 Fall Focus Session

The attached MP3 file contains the full audio from the general session presentation conducted by Malcolm Brown and Phil Long at the ELI '05 Fall Focus Session - Design of Informal Learning Spaces. In the presentation, Brown and Long identify three trends as significantly influencing the present and future of informal learning space design:

• Intentional support for social learning strategies, informed by principles
• A return to human-centered design, and
• Support for diverse, personally-owned devices to enrich academic learning.
