Roots of FLEXspace: Committed Stakeholders
Began with the SUNY Innovative Instruction
Pilot Followed by a national “listening tour”
• CCUMC • NMC Horizon Summit • ELI Annual Meeting • Sloan C - MERLOT

Strategic Level Project Value
“Why should we invest resources in this project?”
• Opportunity Cost - Demonstrate/Measure ROI
• Supports agile renovation cycles
• Content capture for new educational delivery platforms (Dev. Edu., Online, Tutorial)
• Design standards to support active learning
• Promotes consistent understanding of terminology across various instructional support disciplines
• Synergy with other national efforts (ELI, SCUP)

Operational/Functional Project Value
“How does this help functional education needs?”
• Open Education Repository • Built on Successful Proof of Concept • Engages Best Practices • Offers Peer Review • Robust, Reliable Hosting • Sponsorship Interest (envisioned as no-cost to .edu) • More than photos & video: offers web interaction,
community building and referral opportunities

Production Service Migration Database Taxonomies are the Key!

Post Conferences ”Listening Tour” Taxonomy Refinement
Need to Revise original Taxonomy into three separate Domains:
• A/V Integration • Facilities Integration • Learning Space
Typologies & Assessment
Incorporate details as necessary within each domain
![Page 7: A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments … · 2015. 4. 25. · A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052016/602f1c1a2c004744cb2a1d40/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Original Taxonomy
![Page 8: A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments … · 2015. 4. 25. · A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052016/602f1c1a2c004744cb2a1d40/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Data Upload Interface
Separate “Input Domain” for each Taxonomy
![Page 9: A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments … · 2015. 4. 25. · A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052016/602f1c1a2c004744cb2a1d40/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A/V Integration Taxonomy Review
Defining/refining A/V vs. Facilities Fields • Technology • Touchscreens • Conferencing Features • Projection/Display Systems • Local and enterprise-level content capture • Mobile initiatives
All basic features necessary to properly outfit a classroom based on pedagogical needs and facilities parameters
![Page 10: A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments … · 2015. 4. 25. · A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052016/602f1c1a2c004744cb2a1d40/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Facilities and Architectural Review
Facilities Design and Functional Considerations • Fit and Finish Components • Natural and artificial lighting • Acoustics • Facilities engineering
All basic features necessary for aesthetic and code/safety compliance, maximizing A/V and pedagogical parameters
![Page 11: A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments … · 2015. 4. 25. · A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052016/602f1c1a2c004744cb2a1d40/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Learning & Assessment
Typology Rubric Development • How can a taxonomy or rubric capture what
teaching and learning activities are enabled or supported by the space and technology?
• Assessment of Learning Effectiveness
Features necessary to respond to faculty and student teaching and learning needs. Additional challenge of expressing measurement (e.g. ELI “Seeking Evidence of Impact”)
![Page 12: A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments … · 2015. 4. 25. · A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052016/602f1c1a2c004744cb2a1d40/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Learning & Assessment Learning Activities
• What is enabled by the space and technology features? Foundational pedagogy of space approach
• Inquiry based, learner driven inquiry, faculty directed/facilitated, etc.
Relationships enabled: teacher-student, student-student • Types of interactions, lectures vs. discussion, team
collaborations, 1-1 partnerships, problem solving, etc.
Scale: size of space/environment, class size, number of locations
Related Information: • Participants characteristics • Location (face-to-face vs. virtual)
