1. Specialised Learning Space, tailored to specific functions or teaching approaches;
2. Generic Learning Spaces adaptable for multiple uses and teaching approaches;
3. Informal Learning Spaces that support ad hoc, individual and small group learning.
DIT’s learning space requirements can also be defined within three main space types:
The trend globally is for higher education institutions to reduce the amount of specialised learning space limited to a single function and to instead create highly adaptable teaching and learning spaces that can be shared across Faculties/Colleges and subject areas.
Introduction: Vision for DIT
2.5
Generic Learning Space Modules
DIT generic teaching space modules
4.3
• A range of space modules to accommodate different group sizes and learning activities
• Provision of robust flexible furniture systems and localised storage / resources as needed
• Variety of available spatial characteristics to support the pedagogical approach (projection and IT facilities, lighting and aspect, atmosphere, etc)
• Integration within the Institute’s timetabling system
Flexible furniture, flexible space
Faculties: Space Modules
As educational practices evolve it is expected that staff and students of DIT will increasingly explore a variety of learning and teaching styles and approaches. Occupancy numbers in a given space will vary with space requirements per person increasing by over 100% depending on the chosen learning approach (figure).
Whether the space chosen for the learning activity will accommodate the group size needs to be carefully considered prior to it being time-tabled.

It is anticipated that this provision will be primarily used in the following ways:
• to cater for larger student groups than can be accommodated in Faculty spaces
• to provide different learning experiences than are offered by the Faculty spaces
• as overflow spaces when there are time-tabling or other constraints
• to respond to adjacency and other requirements of large groups

The ChallengeNeed to provide for new ways of
learning• More collaborative, active learning with hands-on
experiences • Integrated, multidisciplinary • Blended, learning takes place anywhere/anytime, mobile
technology with social activity• Immersive with simulated or real-world experiences• Hybrid activities, online with face-to-face, mixed
Learning settings
THE NEW LEARNING ENVIRONMENT:HYBRID DESIGNS FOR HYBRID LEARNINGBY DR KENN FISHER
Survey of Learning Space Designin Higher Education- Educause
• There is a real need to optimise the pedagogical performance and learning effectiveness of space rather than focusing on the technical performance of facilities.
• The primary focus of designing learning spaces on campus should be on the learning process that ‘takes place’ on campus
A Continuum of Learning
DEGW
Technology – the third driver
DIT Strategic Plan1. Multi-Level, Learner-Centred Environment
Strategic Objective
The objective under this theme is to enhance the standing and effectiveness of the DIT as a multi-level, technological institution, offering programmes to a broadly-based clientele in a learner-centred environment and which includes a focus on responsiveness to society’s lifelong learning needs. An underlying theme is the promotion of the capacity to learn and to reason, and of learning skills, as being of greater importance than the changing nature of learning content.
Goals
The following goals will be pursued for this purpose:• respond flexibly, efficiently and at the highest standard to the needs of students, industry and the wider community, as appropriate, at all educational and training levels;• evolve and adapt the nature, level and range of programmes over time, consistent with its broadly-based technological orientation, embracing a changing environment and responsive to the labour market
and economic and personal development needs;• develop areas of comparative strength and divert resources from activities no longer responsive to demand or career opportunities, or no longer appropriate;
• promote new learning experiences, including project elements, student work experience, staff placement in industry, “whole person” development/career planning/development of communication and other interpersonal skills;
• develop new learning paradigm with a focus on problem-based and student group self-learning, with academic staff facilitating these processes;
• develop new interdisciplinary courses and research reflecting what is required by the new knowledge society;• establish strategic alliances with a range of agencies in pursuance of its objectives as a multi-level institute;• actively develop a student-friendly ladder system to facilitate progression through all course levels with clear and well-publicised guidelines and criteria;• develop and expand its leadership role as a major provider in many fields of professional education and training;• implement a range of staff development measures crucial to the attainment of the goals of a multi-level learner-centred environment;• enrich the learning environment through the encouragement of cultural diversity;• úsáid na Gaeilge a chothú agus a fhorbairt i saol, i gcultúr agus i ngnóthaí uile na hInstitiúide.
How does the learning space fit into, support and underpin the DIT Strategic Plan?

Implications for Space
Need to be aligned
Most Institutions are taking an incremental approach, new campus provides an opportunity/challenge to make a step
change
Technology
A good first draft at providing a range of informal and self-directed learning
spaces?
“Formal” Classrooms
• Central learning 6,300m2 / 1650 seats• Faculty 10,300m2 / 5100 seats• ~17,000m2, ~6750 seats, ~2.5m2/seat• Should suffice for projected demands.
• To provide flexible PBL and collaborative spaces at 3m2/seat, need significant number of seats at higher density or fewer seats.
• Need to Balance the books/seats
What ratio of didactic to more flexible ???
Fixed Furniture Movable Furniture
Questions
• Policies on class group sizes (>120)– Impact of modularisation (if any)– Need for large tiered venues?
• Need for mid-range 80-100 seat?• Ratio of large to smaller group teaching?• Future directions on contact hours?
Need to be clear
• What type(s) of learning and teaching are we trying to foster? • Why is this likely to make a difference to learning?• What plans will be made to modify programs or courses to
take advantage of the new facilities?• What education or training for academics and other staff is
required?
• Inform briefs• Need for Colleges/Schools/Programme Committees to
provide guidance – soon!
