Abstract | Students need space to gather, share ideas, talk, develop common understanding and work to create greater knowledge. This focus on collaboration has put a strain on group study spaces. Students need to collaborate spontaneously, and scheduling time in a study room is not conducive to spur-of-the-moment collaboration. At many education institutions, the availability of safe and flexible, yet comfortable spaces for group work is limited and lacks accessibility. Some of the furniture needed to create collaborative spaces is readily available. One new concept is an office bench system, which provides an open, flat worksurface with low divider screens between facing workers. In addition, power options should be integrated into nearly every furniture concept. Providing students with easy access to power and computer networks is critical to moving people out of study rooms where wall outlets usually are plentiful. (ERIC). |
