Early last August, I attended a workshop on Learning Environment Modeling (LEM) and was inspired to write a post about using the LEM visual language (LEML) to design collaborative spaces. The workshop was facilitated by Bucky Dodd, Executive Director at the University of Central Oklahoma’s Center for eLearning and Customized Education (CeCE), and he and I spoke about the design potential afforded by a common visual language for learning environments.
