The Sheffield Learning Spaces #Twalk
- 1. Learning Space Walk When: 28th July 2017 meet 14.15, Walk 14:30 to 15.30 BST Theme: Crossing Boundaries Hashtag: #TwalkBoundaries The aim of the walk is to think holistically about our students experience of learning space as they cross through formal-informal boundaries on campus and beyond. The walk will last one hour, plus 15 minutes for meeting and briefing. It will use the Twalk methodology to create a conversational space structured around a set of city or campus places and spaces. #Twalk: Together, we will walk, talk and post thoughts and pictures to Twitter. In Sheffield, the #Twalk will be led by Andrew Middleton (@andrewmid) and will happen between the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University, co-hosts of the UK Learning Spaces Special Interest Group meeting. We will stroll from the entrance of the University of Sheffields Diamond building on Leavygreave Rd, S3 7RD. We will walk in pairs as a group keeping to a strict schedule so that we co-ordinate the Sheffield walk with walks happening elsewhere. Together we will engage via Twitter using #TwalkBoundaries as we discuss each viewpoint topic. Viewpoints pause places where we begin discussions relating to our Crossing Boundaries theme. Each viewpoint creates an opportunity to discuss a new aspect of the topic inspired by our current location. The walk leader will pose the new topic and in small groups we will discuss, snap, tweet and walk. Dont stay long at a Viewpoint long enough to ask the question and begin your small group discussions. But move on! Connect your thoughts to conversation elsewhere Dont forget to Tweet! #Twalk! : Snap! Chat! Tweet and Walk! Join In wherever you are on the day As on our previous Twalk on 31st May*, we encourage you to join in using our generic route and the structured conversation on Twitter. See: http://melsig.shu.ac.uk
