My supervisor Samia Khan is on our ubc homepage because of her involvement in designing a space for learning as stated in the UBC public affairs press release. The ICICS building is where my lab is.

“Current research shows that learning is a dynamic and collaborative process,” says Khan. “The part I contributed to the discussion was how students can construct knowledge individually, in groups and with digital technology, and how that learning can be assessed.”

Relevance: What is the role of the environment on learning and how can furniture and architecture foster collaboration? A Collaborative Artefacts Interactive Furniture workshop at EPFL, Switzerland discussed these and related issues last June.
