Of particular interest was the software that could project a computer image onto many walls at the same time which allows the tutor to slowly build up the information presented to students as the previous slide(s) remains on display to add context and comparison. However for each image projected, there needs to be a separate projector and specific feeds on the computer for each projector, making it an expensive solution.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The white paper prepared by Duncan Peberdy: \u00a0\u201cThe Case for Active Learning Environments in University Education\u201d can be found on the eLearning Sharepoint site.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><a title=\"seminar.net\" href=\"http:\/\/seminar.net\/index.php\/volume-6-issue-1-2010\/141-the-rhetoric-of-multi-display-learning-spaces-exploratory-experiences-in-visual-art-disciplines2 &lt;http:\/\/seminar.net\/index.php\/volume-6-issue-1-2010\/141-the-rhetoric-of-multi-display-learning-spaces-exploratory-experiences-in-visual-art-disciplines2&gt;\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/seminar.net\/index.php\/volume-6-issue-1-2010\/141-the-rhetoric-of-multi-display-learning-spaces-exploratory-experiences-in-visual-art-disciplines2 &lt;http:\/\/seminar.net\/index.php\/volume-6-issue-1-2010\/141-the-rhetoric-of-multi-display-learning-spaces-exploratory-experiences-in-visual-art-disciplines2&gt; <\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning Spaces Conference report This event was a half day event held at the University of Nottingham and collaboratively facilitated between the London Knowledge Lab, the Open University and the Learning Sciences Research Institute at the University of Nottingham.
