Mapping the Learning Space:
Learner-Centered Principles for Higher Education
An NLII Research Project
Educators, designers, technology
providers, administrators, and theorists come to the teaching and learning
territory with the same goals. Consensus in understanding is often hidden
beneath different language, focus, experiences, understandings and
practices. The visual maps of the current learning territory created at
this site are meant to provide an entry into ideas, practices and an
overview of the relationships between these areas in the higher education
experience. The project is a part of the ongoing NLII key theme and
research work in learner-centered practices.
The NLII mission is to explore and
synthesize the best practices of higher education in order to provide its
members with solutions that redesign the teaching and learning field into
one that is active and learner-centered, dynamic and lifelong,
collaborative, cost-effective, high-quality, and accessible.
This site is not meant to be an
all-encompassing encyclopedia of terms, but a growing, changing
exploration of the transformative change happening in a transforming
world. Each concept in the series of visual maps within this site are live
links to resources, ideas, definitions and examples of that topic. Write
us if you'd like a key concept included.
