How do modern technologies drive change in learning, and how does the university campus accommodate that development? What kind of learning environment can facilitate the modern learners’ diverse needs, both in physical rooms and e-learning settings? And how should different stakeholders collaborate on the way towards the “campus of tomorrow”?

A working group on Learning Spaces at the University of Basel («Arbeitsgruppe Lernräume») tries to find appropriate answers to these questions. It connects the different players in the fields of campus infrastructure and services as well as didactics, in an ongoing process of conducting projects, evaluating and refining rooms and processes alike. Various pilot projects explore ways and methods e.g. of appropriate user participation, be it in workshops, through interviews or questionnaires, or in a permanent student group for early feedback on ideas and projects.
