At the UKSG E-Resources for FE Seminar I gave a presentation looking at whether libraries and learning resource centres are providing learner centred environments.
My aim for the presentation was to get you all thinking. Over the last few months I’ve been talking to Librarians putting forward observations and reflections, on how libraries could respond to the evolving needs of learners and their learning styles, to prompt discussion and elicit feedback.
It’s been an interesting few months of changing ideas and perceptions resulting in the presentation below. Are we providing Learner Centred Environments? How can a library be “physical” as well as “virtual”? How can we exploit online platforms? How do Learning Styles influence library services?
The presentation showcases innovative ideas, new technology and useful websites, and provides some suggestions to challenge your thinking and influence your future planning.
