This article offers a tour of four "advanced hybrid learning spaces", featuring rooms at the University of Amsterdam, KU Leuven, Imperial College London, and Oulu University of Applied Sciences, Finland. They remind me a lot of the videoconferencing classrooms back in the 90s and 00s, but now they're supported with a range of digital conferencing tools and services. I'm honestly not a fan. I think in-person learning spaces will add more and more digital services, including conferencing and recording, but putting people into the seats either turns them into a studio audience or it privileges them, to the detriment of online participants. Still, it's a pretty good article with some nice examples of what's going on in the space.
