Abstract
This book’s introductory chapter discusses the rapidly growing academic conversation occurring around learning environment research. It highlights one significant gap in the literature in this field; the evaluation of such spaces. Its conclusion isn’t that little research has been done to document impact, but what has been done has been too particular in focus and method, therefore being limited in its usefulness to practitioners.
