\nHASHTAG<\/strong>\u00a0for the event:\u00a0#melsig<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0#SIGCLANS<\/p>\n

Description:<\/strong>\u00a0The event considered how learning space<\/em> becomes learning place<\/em> through the use of digital and social media in and out of the classroom. Academics and developers explored how the learning space is becoming richer through blended and more personal and networked\u00a0approaches.<\/p>\n

The discourse around learning place relates the,<\/p>\n

“salient qualities of specific learning places to successful learning activities, enjoyable learning experiences and good learning outcomes. Such connections between place and learning can be subtle and powerful.” – Ellis & Goodyear (2016)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The day involved presentations and workshops which allowed us to hear about and develop our thinking on innovative blended learning spaces.<\/p>\n

The focus of the event relates to the\u00a0range of ongoing MELSIG interests<\/a>\u00a0and, as always, provided an excellent networking opportunity.<\/p>\n

Thank you to Edge Hill University for hosting the day.<\/p>\n
