The Fourth Symposium on Social Learning Space: Learning Outside the Square



Call for Contributions



The Reinvention Centre (the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and

Learning at Oxford Brookes and Warwick Universities

(www.warwick.ac.uk/go/reinvention) are delighted to announce the Fourth

Symposium on Social Learning Space: Learning Outside the Square. This

one-day event will take place on Monday 6 April 2009 at Oxford Brookes

University’s Gipsy Lane Campus in Headington, Oxford, and will showcase

the Reinvention Centre space.



The keynote speakers will be Nicolette Lee, Academic Co-ordinator,

Experiential Learning at Swinburne University of Technology in Australia

and Emeritus Professor of Urban Design,

Ian Bentley, based at Oxford Brookes University.



The aim of the Symposium is to explore new and innovative social

learning spaces, and this year’s theme is 'Learning Outside the Square'.

The sub-themes that symposium will address are:



• innovative design: creating new/different teaching and learning

opportunities;

• building a learning community (within and beyond the university);

• the relationship between pedagogy and space; and,

• virtual social learning space.



We are now inviting proposals for 45-minute, interactive workshops.

Workshops may present a social learning space, assess a range of spaces

or explore conceptual aspects of the sub-themes above. Proposals should

be no more than 250 words and should:



• give the title of the workshop;

• explain what the workshop is about, how it fits with the overall

symposium theme, and which sub-theme it falls under;

• explain how the workshop will be interactive, i.e. how it will involve

the audience; and,

• show a clear link to existing literature.



Proposals should be sent by email to Becky Kiddle at

rkiddle@brookes.ac.uk. The deadline for receipt of proposals is Friday
