New, Designing Spaces for Effective Learning "The focus is on the way technologies can transform space utilisation, as well as merely being 'fitted into' the design. Taking the approach of a walkthrough in an imaginary educational institution, the guide highlights current thinking about the use of learning technologies in key areas and their impact on these physical spaces. Richly illustrated, it also offers architect's prototype designs and concludes with a checklist of key points to help senior managers embarking on new build and refurbishment projects." 36 pages; PDF."
