4. OVERVIEW • share insights • address (some) key questions • discuss ideas, plans, action items

6. A Space to Play, A Space to Compose: A Model for Creative Collaborations and Composition Practices • Noel Studio spaces: Greenhouse, Discovery Classroom, Breakout Spaces, Practice Rooms, Conference Room • Noel Studio pedagogy: collaborative, creative, multimodal • Spatial/pedagogical intersections/overlaps

7. Creative collaborations and composing practices Noel Studio as a place/space for experimentation and exploration Noel Studio space suggests the importance of play through space design/architexture and resources available

8. Noel Studio composition as gallery space public spaces for invention social spaces for composing material spaces for play Students engage creative spaces creatively kinesthetic messy physical

10. This was a moment of creativity, innovation, social/cultural entrepreneurship, and of making.

16. “ CE gave me a chance to explore some of the activities about which I was unsure—both in my own natural ability and my own interest. If it weren't for the CE I'd likely never have created several of the videos that have been published in other major venues. The CE (and the people behind it) embodies the type of thinking that will not only bring MSU, but higher education as a whole, forward in society. ” Dan Nufer, Professional Writing, 2012 User Experience Designer, Razorfish, Chicago

23. The LMC as a Social Hub We were just hanging out in the LMC on a Monday afternoon. I was kind of waiting between class and my ILO . . . (RCAH Student)

24. The Language and Media Center as Hub in Learning Ecology • How does space help to connect people, technologies, resources, compositions, ideas, information, etc.? • How do these heterogeneous elements, in turn, construct space? • Alearning ecologycan be glimpsed in • chance & planned encounters between various human & nonhuman actants; • assigned & self-sponsored composing activities; • the fluid movement of people, compositions, & ideas through proximate but heterogeneous spaces.

45. Concluding thoughts Making space: • The physical and digital spaces we use to produce, circulate, deliver, research, and teach writing shape our practices and our products. Architexture: • The ways in which physical and digital spaces affect writing processes, instruction, and scholarship may not be obvious to administrators, students, or even our colleagues. We need to make explicit their influences and our needs.

47. Concluding thoughts Infrastructure: • Local conditions matter. Infrastructure needs will vary by institutions, course, and program. Rhetoric of design: • Pedagogical decisions should drive infrastructural decisions. The successful examples shared here started with an underlying philosophy of design and theory of composing.
