Looking back at the open day Future Learning Spaces

On 29 March, the Future Learning Spaces open day took place, organized by the SIG Learning Spaces of SURF and the project Future Learning Spaces of UU. The day was focused on the Future Learning Spaces that have been developed within UU and at the hybrid education that accompanies these learning spaces.

The day appeared to be very popular and was well-attended. The attendees consisted of people interested in Future Learning Spaces from various backgrounds. There were people with an audio-visual, IT or educational background, but also lecturers who use hybrid education themselves.

The day was opened in the Hybrid Active Learning Classroom. Participants had the chance to experience it’s workings online as well as on location. After this, there was time to visit two other hybrid classrooms where experiences with it’s uses were shared. There was also time to discover the Virtual Classroom.

Next, participants took the time to discuss the workings of hybrid education. This made for interesting questions on the didactical as well as the technical side of it, such as: Is hybrid education the future? Which devices should lecturers and students be equipped with? Is a tracking camera desirable?

It was a successful day that opened many people’s eyes regarding the possibilities of Future Learning Spaces and the future of hybrid education.
