Learning Commons Project

Although the concept of the Information Commons (a place for students to gather and work with technology) has been present for a decade, additions and changes to this concept continue to require libraries to adapt and evolve to become a Commons 2.0, a space that fosters student learning in new and creative ways.
Using the Guide to Support Implementation: Essential Conditions, the CRC has worked alongside Elizabeth Rummel Elementary School in Canmore to support their transition from a traditional library to a Learning Commons. The videos below document their journey and share the perspectives of stakeholders from the Elizabeth Rummel school community.
