This second edition offers new coverage of universal design, learning communities, multicultural environments, online environments, social networking, and safety, and challenges educators to evaluate the potential for change on their own campuses. You'll learn which factors make a living-learning community effective, and how to implement these factors in the renovation of campus facilities. An updated selection of vignettes, case scenarios, and institutional examples help you apply theory to practice, and end-of-chapter reflection questions allow you to test your understanding and probe deeper into the material and how it applies to your environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCampus design is no longer just about grassy quads and ivy-covered walls—the past decade has seen a surge in new designs that facilitate learning and nurture student development.

Students in ­higher education are becoming more discerning as they seek distinctive educational experiences conducive to success. In the future, the most competitive institutions will be those that pay attention, not only to \u003ci\u003ewhat\u003c\/i\u003e students learn, but to \u003ci\u003ewhere\u003c\/i\u003e they learn. Thankfully, the past decade of research has yielded new and exciting insights into the types of environments—physical and online—that support student learning. \u003ci\u003eDesigning for Learning\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable synthesis of the key ideas that every institution needs to survive this crucial moment in the evolution of higher education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResearch shows that human behavior is strongly influenced by the ­environments we inhabit, and smart design principles are transforming learning environments around the world. In this book, authors C. Carney Strange and James H. Banning show how colleges and universities that take a conscious approach to their ­learning environments stand to attract more students and improve retention rates. Their framework shows how to assess existing environments and identify ways to ­create the experience of \u003ci\u003ecommunity,\u003c\/i\u003e which is essential to student success. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDesigning for Learning \u003c\/i\u003eis an update to the authors’ groundbreaking work, \u003ci\u003eEducating by Design.\u003c\/i\u003e Through examples, case studies, and questions for reflection and discussion this book guides readers from theory to practice.
