Promoting Collaborative and Interdisciplinary Learning via Migration between different Learning Spaces

In this chapter we examine the impact of migration of students and staff between learning environments and positions (teachers, researchers, and producers) on students' learning experience. The chapter begins by distinguishing between physical, virtual and conceptual learning spaces. It then describes Broad Vision, the art / science research and learning programme on which the chapter is based. Finally, the chapter discusses the emerging themes, reflecting on a range of perspectives of Broad Vision participants. We conclude that spaces will only become learning environments with suitable activities and when groups or individuals are in a suitable conceptual space.
