This document summarizes Marij Veugelers' study trip to Australia to learn about innovative learning spaces at universities. It provides examples of new types of learning spaces implemented in the Netherlands, including collaboration rooms at the University of Amsterdam that incorporate movable furniture and screens. It also describes a team-based learning room at Amsterdam Medical Center and living labs at University of Leiden. The document stresses that implementing new learning spaces requires a change in behavior from both teachers and students and more educational support than often anticipated.

This is the first
generation of people that
work, play, think and
learn differently from
their parents. They are
the first generation to not
be afraid of technology…
its like the air we breath
to them…

Spaces where there is teacher – students
interaction
In this presentation: not about lecture halls
But focus on classrooms / seminar rooms

29. Radboud UMC:
a game: develop your own building
Game created by
AMC Noor Christoph
UvA Marij Veugelers
Radboud UMC Nicolai van der Woert
34 people from 7 different Medical Departments
played this game
6 groups: Different assignments; different
educational visions (for example: teambased
learning, traditonal learning, learning community)

32. Our lessons learned
It is still not mainstream in the NL
There are many good examples abroad
It is more than creating a new room
It is about a new behaviour for teachers and…
for students
Often the educational support required is
underestimated.
Use the opportunities!
Is there suddenly a room free? Is there an
educational program that would like to change
something? Start with pilots.

35. Other lessons learned
Make a connection with your educational vision
Create a broad supportlayer in your organisation:
teachers, students and management)
Support the teachers ( educational and IT /AV)
Create possibilities for experiments and pilots
Look at other universities, share your experiences
and knowledge
And what are your tips and tricks?
