The Learning in a Changing World series presents the core areas for all educators and school leaders to consider for 21st century learning: the digital world, virtual worlds, curriculum integration, resourcing and the physical environment. All are essential elements to enable and empower students to be lifelong learners and active participants in our society.

LiCW-connectConnect, Communicate, Collaborate
Judy O'Connell & Dean Groom

Our students are involved in an 'architecture of participation' - creating, adapting and sharing content. Schools and school libraries have many challenges to address to create a renewal of pedagogy and technology work practices.

We are being challenged to un-learn and re-learn in order to grant students access to 21st century learning.

Connect, Communicate, Collaborate is written to provide the knowledge, inspiration and motivation to get you started.

LiCW-virtualVirtual Worlds
Judy O'Connell & Dean Groom

Each year there are more and more avatars in rich virtual environments.

These immersive worlds - where the world within the screen becomes both the object and the site of interaction - are on the increase, matching the promise of technology with the creative minds of our students.

The challenge is to accept that these interactive environments are here to stay and that schools can, and should, embrace learning in virtual worlds.

Virtual Worlds will provide the knowledge, inspiration and motivation to get you started.

LiCW-designDesigning the Learning Environment
Susan La Marca

Designing the Learning Environment discusses how we develop effective learning spaces with an emphasis on understanding the needs of the major stakeholders of these spaces - students.

Designing learning spaces and, in particular, designing school libraries as learning spaces, is presented as an approach to understanding learning needs. Specifically, planning must be learning driven, human-centred and flexible.

Designing the Learning Environment begins with the end in sight - it looks at the research and learning theories and uses these as the foundation for planning.

LiCW-resourcingResourcing for Curriculum Innovation
June Wall & Sandra Ryan

This book provides both an approach to developing school library collections and a balanced view of the types of resources required for student learning.

No longer is the book a sole information resource; books and digital collections must now share equal space for learning as that is the growing nature of our students' learning needs.
