Business schools across the planet are pioneers in new teaching methods, innovative buildings, and new online platforms. They shape great places for face-to-face learning, debate, and socialisation with visionary colleagues. And they create online and distance learning platforms such as HBX, Harvard Business Academy to link remote students with one another and with academics.
This event, co-hosted by UCL's Bartlett Global Centre for Learning and Imperial College Business School, will provide an overview of the latest thinking about the best ways of connecting face-to-face with online learning. Key questions will address how educators working on digital/virtual platforms can learn from spatial, face-to-face environments, and how architects and spatial designers can learn from digital/virtual learning innovations.
Concise, penetrating talks by leading thinkers will cover:
- How might buildings for business schools encourage entrepreneurship and innovation?
- How will they evolve in response to the growth in blended learning?
- What lessons can virtual environments grasp from the design of spatial learning environments?
- How can the virtual and the spatial environments interact in order to further the student experience?
- Participants will have a chance to visit UCL’s innovative Architecture and Engineering spaces at Here East, where advanced technology and robots meet design creativity, where researchers and students work together to shape designs for the future.
Please join us for networking opportunities over a drink at the end of the forum.
