Presentation on Learning Space Service Design at EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative 2012 Annual Meeting. Makes the case for a shift in mindset in the design, operations, and assessment of spaces to integrate services. Then, provides an overview of the process and tools to do so.

6. design as support To respond to shifts in mobility, collaboration, personalization, participation, & sharing, the role of design moves from delivering something people use to continuously supporting use. design as delivery design as support

7. a new mindset The shift to design as support requires a new mindset for the planning, operation, and evaluation of learning space. design as delivery Conventional Thinking Service Design Thinking Design the container and its contents Design the activities and interactions Design once, completed when occupied Design is an ongoing, iterative process Operational and Capital budgets separate Operational and Capital budgets linked Use standards of what worked in the past Invent new models, working with users Focus on consistency, one-size-fits-all Focus on personalization, responsiveness Design from institutional perspective Design from user perspective People will ask for whatever help they need Proactive service uncovers needs

8. service design process and tools Service design is a way of thinking and a process for designing the service interactions between people, information, technology, furniture, and spaces so that they are usable, useful, desirable, and effective.

9. service visioning Establishing the values, philosophy, and goals to provide direction and guide decision-making through the process Headlines Exercise Personal Experiences Keywords Expert Surprising The extra mile Where you need us Fun Easy to use Efficient Effective On-demand Superior Personal Proactive Just-in-time

11. personas Synthesizing what you know about your users into a set of personas that represent different prototypical users’ motivations, behaviors, and expectations Name: Name & Keyword (end in “–er”) Demographics: Describe your character - age, affiliation/status, home location, Movitvations: What drives this person? What are his/her goals? Behaviors: How and where does he/she spend their time? With whom? Doing what? Expectations: What does he/she expect from you in your spaces/services? Resources: What are the resources that he/she relies on to get things done? Which are his/her own vs. those you provide?

17. prototyping Setting up pilots or experiments to test and refine blueprint concepts, answer questions, gather feedback, and ready your users for potential new spaces and services Hypothesis: What question are you answering? Users: Who is it for? Location: Where it is happening? Duration: For how long? Tasks: How are you going to do it? Staffing: Who is doing it in terms of staff? Assessment How are you going to evaluate it?

18. prototyping example Prototyping can be done through mock-ups, roleplay, and short pilot programs to inform the design of the space and staffing. prototyping a new kind of library service point

19. some exemplary learning spaces Several learning spaces have developed innovative services to enhance the experience of their users. UPenn Weigle Information Commons University of Warwick Learning Grid General Assembly NYC Campus A variety of technology-rich informal learning spaces, organized workshops and community events, and serving as a hub partners to provide services Student-supported, flexible informal learning space that supports students by facilitating independent learning in new ways Campus to technology, design, & entrepreneurship with a tiered membership model for workspace access and programming of events and classes

21. how to get started How you can get started, including steps you can take to begin evaluating, designing, and providing services. Analysis Design Implementation Create working group Develop Service Vision Create metrics Inventory current Gap Analysis Implement Pilots Create types / classes Select pilot sites Assess Pilots Get feedback from users Identify champions Forge Partnerships Benchmarking Create Personas Instruct others Prioritize Services Develop Journey Maps Evaluate scaling potential Analysis Service Systems Develop Service Blueprints Reassess and Refine
