Curating an Active Learning Ecosystem: A Toolkit: 2014-2016 Library Space and Furniture Assessment

Supporting resource site for the USM 2016 Steelcase Education Active Learning Center Grant proposal

Visual Voting

We asked our students to vote for their favorite furniture styles, helping us envision the future library space we could create together.

Students placed stickers on the photos of sample furniture/spaces that appealed to them the most, and had the opportunity to explain their votes with written comments.

Testing Furniture Samples

Students settled in and really tested sample furniture pieces, then completed an online survey.
