Roots of FLEXspace: Committed Stakeholders
Began with the
SUNY Innovative Instruction Pilot
Followed by a national “listening tour”
• CCUMC• NMC Horizon Summit• ELI Annual Meeting• Sloan C - MERLOT

Strategic Level Project Value
“Why should we invest resources in this project?”
• Opportunity Cost - Demonstrate/Measure ROI
• Supports agile renovation cycles
• Content capture for new educational delivery platforms (Dev. Edu., Online, Tutorial)
• Design standards to support active learning
• Promotes consistent understanding of terminology across various instructional support disciplines
• Synergy with other national efforts (ELI, SCUP)

Operational/Functional Project Value
“How does this help functional education needs?”
• Open Education Repository• Built on Successful Proof of Concept• Engages Best Practices• Offers Peer Review• Robust, Reliable Hosting • Sponsorship Interest (envisioned as no-cost
to .edu)• More than photos & video: offers web
interaction, community building and referral opportunities

Production Service MigrationDatabase Taxonomies are the Key!

Post Conferences ”Listening Tour” Taxonomy Refinement
Need to Revise original Taxonomy into three separate Domains:
• A/V Integration • Facilities Integration • Learning Space
Typologies & Assessment
Incorporate details as necessary within each domain
![Page 7: A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice for an Open Access, Peer Reviewed Learning Space Repository](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab51e5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Original Taxonomy
![Page 8: A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice for an Open Access, Peer Reviewed Learning Space Repository](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab51e5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Data Upload Interface
Separate “Input Domain” for each Taxonomy
![Page 9: A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice for an Open Access, Peer Reviewed Learning Space Repository](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab51e5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A/V Integration Taxonomy Review
Defining/refining A/V vs. Facilities Fields• Technology• Touchscreens• Conferencing Features• Projection/Display Systems• Local and enterprise-level content capture• Mobile initiatives
All basic features necessary to properly outfit a classroom based on pedagogical needs and facilities parameters
![Page 10: A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice for an Open Access, Peer Reviewed Learning Space Repository](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab51e5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Facilities and Architectural Review
Facilities Design and Functional Considerations• Fit and Finish Components• Natural and artificial lighting• Acoustics• Facilities engineering
All basic features necessary for aesthetic and code/safety compliance, maximizing A/V and pedagogical parameters
![Page 11: A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice for an Open Access, Peer Reviewed Learning Space Repository](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab51e5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Learning & Assessment
Typology Rubric Development• How can a taxonomy or rubric capture what
teaching and learning activities are enabled or supported by the space and technology?
• Assessment of Learning Effectiveness
Features necessary to respond to faculty and student teaching and learning needs. Additional challenge of expressing measurement (e.g. ELI “Seeking Evidence of Impact”)
![Page 12: A Vision for FLEXspace: Flexible Learning Environments eXchange Creating a new Community of Practice for an Open Access, Peer Reviewed Learning Space Repository](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab51e5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Learning & Assessment
Learning Activities• What is enabled by the space and technology
features?Foundational pedagogy of space approach
• Inquiry based, learner driven inquiry, faculty directed/facilitated, etc.
Relationships enabled: teacher-student, student-student• Types of interactions, lectures vs. discussion, team
collaborations, 1-1 partnerships, problem solving, etc.
Scale: size of space/environment, class size, number of locations
Related Information:• Participants characteristics• Location (face-to-face vs. virtual)
