    Subject: CFP: Learning Spaces for the Information Age (10/31/01; e-journal)

    inventio, an online journal of creative thinking about teaching
    and learning, published its first national, peer-reviewed issue
    in June 2001 (available at http://www.doiiit.gmu.edu/inventio).

    We should like to reissue our call for submissions to our special
    Spring 2002 issue on ^”Bricks and Clicks: Learning Spaces for the
    Information Age^‘ (deadline ^÷ 31 October, 2001).

    Call for Articles: Spring 2002

    The information age is fast introducing a new educational
    paradigm, but has not yet produced a definitive model for the
    schoolhouse of the future. Will it be, as some futurists have
    predicted, a rich but wholly virtual space, as students learn in
    their own time and at their own pace in cyberspace? Or will it
    be an enhanced physical space, as we understand more and more how
    good physical design supports exemplary learning?

    * What are the characteristics of good learning spaces,
    physical and virtual? How are we reshaping the relationship
    of space to learning in the design and renovation of
    buildings and learning facilities? What are the lessons
    learned from building and renovating learning facilities?
    * Is the optimum teaching space also the optimum learning
    space? What is the relationship between learning spaces and
    learning styles? What are successful methods for using
    virtual space as a complement to physical space for learning
    or vice versa?
    * What are the multiple routes (for example, web sites,
    'course-in-a-box' packages, MOOs, virtual worlds) to the
    creation of virtual spaces for learning? What conclusions
    are can we draw from research on the experiences of faculty
    and students teaching and learning in virtual space
    (including student perceptions of online learning,
    community-building in virtual space and faculty/student
    challenges in teaching and learning in virtual space)?

    inventio accepts contributions in several categories:

    <sum> Features ^? in-depth articles of 3000 to 4500 words focusing on
    issues related to excellence in learning and teaching.

    <sum> Current Issues ^? articles of 800 to 2500 words giving a brief
    overview of a timely issue related to teaching and learning.

    <sum> Viewpoints ^? articles of 800 to 2500 words expressing an
    author's opinion on a subject related to teaching and learning,
    one about which there may be some controversy.

    <sum> Spotlights ^? articles of 800 to 2500 words describing a
    teaching technique or tool that has been successful and could be
    implemented by other faculty members.

    <sum> Reviews ^? articles of 800 to 1500 words reviewing a book, web
    site, software application, or other resource that may be of
    interest to the higher education instructional community.

    Please do contact the Editorial Board ([email protected]) or the
    editor, Lesley Smith ([email protected]) directly with queries,
    requests for additional information and any other questions about
    contributing to the journal or reviewing for it.
