One of the most significant recent trends in Higher Education has
been the move from a focus on teaching to one on learning. But, as
anyone who has ever run programmes or courses will recognise, both
the physical geography and the ethos of the location have major
impacts on the quality of the resulting learning experience. Hence
the current interest in learning spaces - considered here as 'sites
of interaction.' The fourteen chapters of this anthology, produced
by the international Association Learning in Higher Education's
well-tested and rigorous methodology, discuss the concept of
learning spaces, the pedagogy of learning spaces, and the way
learning spaces are changing. Learning Space Design indicates that
the evolution of learning spaces is, and ought to be, a contested
area which cannot be resolved just through a formal building
commissioning process. It is important to make explicit the nexus
between educational philosophy and architectural design of physical
and/or virtual learning spaces, especially if the aim is to
increase student agency, interaction, and collaboration. Learning
Space Design puts the spotlight on an important, but often
overlooked, dimension of teaching and learning processes in higher
education. It is a rallying call for a mission to explore further
the nature and purposes of learning spaces, and it should be
essential reading for all those designing, delivering or evaluating
teaching and learning in higher education. About the editors Lennie
