| Department of Integrated Studies in Education - Public Lecture
The Department of Integrated Studies in Education is pleased to invite faculty, staff and students to a lecture on Monday, January 13th, 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. in Room 129 by Professor Clive Holtham of the Cass Business School, City of London. Professor Holtham will speak on "Making space for learning - why physical space becomes more important in a virtual world.
The rhetoric of the last decade has warned of the threats to conventional face-to-face education from electronic learning. Yet one of the great ironies of the reality of e-learning is that in many ways its limitations have only served to highlight the significance of physical spaces for learning.
The Cass Business School, City of London, has just invested $80m US in a wholly new building, and as part of both the project evaluation and project design, laid great emphasis on the complementary roles of both physical and virtual spaces.
Clive Holtham is Director of the Cass Business School Learning Laboratory and will use the thinking behind the new building to explore the rationale for physical space in the 21st century.
In 2001 he was named as one of the UK's three leading e-tutors of the year by the Times Higher Education Supplement, and in 2002 was his university's nominee for the National Teaching Fellowship. He has published extensively in the fields of electronic business, knowledge management and management learning.
