Independent Consultant

Recent trends in innovative learning spaces for universities have tended to focus on active, collaborative and ‘informal’ learning. In this talk, Jos considers what is currently going on across higher education globally, and the extent to which current changes in both pedagogy and environments intersect with the conceptual, physical and digital spaces of creativity. She will suggest that the creative disciplines can both learn from and ‘talk back’ to some of these shifts; and explores what this means for developing learning spaces in art and design.

Linking to the overall theme of the conference around reimagining creative spaces within teaching and learning, Terry will consider the creative spaces that are present within the courses and to what extent they reflect the diverse needs of the students. She will discuss the importance of working within the physical, blended and virtual space to explore different pedagogic practices reflecting on some of the key developments she has been involved in at the university over the past five years.
