Piet van der Zanden

Has a PhD from Delft University of Technology in 2009, see The Facilitating University; Positioning Next Generation Education Technology“. Subsequently he had written a small book (in Dutch) about education and its future titled “Learning Mall: Learning is Earning in Tomorrow’s University” (Learning Mall: Laat Onderwijs Geld Verdienen“).

Piet is working with the design and development of education spaces to facilitate digital teaching, collaborating practices and innovative developments. Since the advent of MOOCs and flipped classrooms a mismatch is growing between the current practising pedagogies based on talking-writing in lecture halls and online practices. At the same time classroom designing disciplines remain idle in adapting modern practices. He has written a great “cookbook” on how to design education spaces and created an excellent application to visualize readability and sightlines when designing education spaces.

Duncan Peberdy

Duncan work with universities and colleges to help them identify the range of inputs required for new active collaborative learning initiatives to be successful on their own campuses. Too often the focus of campus developments can be skewed by technology or learning space design, and whilst these are both important, in order to provide a great student experience that supports wellbeing and achieves the desired Student Outcomes, successful developments require a broader range of inputs.
He has developed Peberdy’s Pyramid for Success that places Student Outcomes as key for both student and institutional success, and which requires the right pedagogies and interventions to achieve these. In turn, these pedagogies require a blend of Curriculum re-Design and Delivery, Assessment, Technology, CPD, Learning Space Design, and Wellbeing measures in order to create a Student Experience that underpins the desired successful outcomes.

Successful deployments of Active Collaborative Learning can result in the disappearance of historical academic attainment gaps, widen participation in HE, and reduce campus racism.
I’m also interested in the potential of Virtual Classrooms in both HE and FE, and the development of pedagogies and interventions that will be essential for transforming these technological advancements into student successes.

Since 2014 Duncan has published two books on active learning spaces that take an holistic look at all the inputs required to make new student-centric learning spaces successful.
