Description
The Learning Commons’ mission is to support student success by
providing a space that encourages active, collaborative learning
but in truth many students prefer to use the Learning Commons
for quiet study and to keep collaborative learning in the
classroom. How can we encourage students to take full
advantage of the dynamic and creative nature of spaces like the
Learning Commons? How do we make sure that collaborative
learning in the Learning Commons is a component and not a
barrier to student success? Learn about some of the ways the
Learning Commons is collaborating with faculty to give students’
work life beyond the classroom and to create a dynamic and
creative space where collaborative learning can take place.
