Important points to consider:
- Assessment and ongoing assessment-how will we accomplish that? Traditional ways--surveys, focus groups, interviews. Also experimental spaces; put something out there and observe use
- Emerging partnerships with academic partners---CTE, CIT, etc.
- Where do we see the future going? Think holistically about impacts-- mobile technology, cloud, desktop computing impacts
- How do today's students work collaboratively? Refer to MALT studies, research, other institutions, etc.
- Multi-media's role; multi media studios?
- Role of scale up clasrooms; large mobile spaces for use of graduate students
- Display space for projects
- Providing student social space where students can "happen upon another conversation" and join in
- Fluid/dynamic environment--things will change; any plan needs to be flexible and forgiving; ok to fail
