What is the role of informal learning environments in knowledge transfer? How do we design effective learning settings that encourage socialization and innovation? These questions and more are addressed in the University of Melbourne’s 2012 panel session on Knowledge Precincts: Creating New Places and Partnerships for Learning. Enjoy!
P.S. As mentioned in the presentation, check out TechShop. It’s a studio/hackerspace offering a multitude of resources and tools allowing patrons to design and build their ideas. Very cool!
