<P><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Melinda.</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">My university experience was all shared learning, with action learning sets for small (local) groups and open space for lager (national) groups. My first experience of Open Space was at the university residential and it took a wee while to come to terms with the fact that we (the students) were not being lectured to or taught in the traditional sense. The results were phenomenal however, once the penny dropped. The variety and depth of the information explored, shared and discovered was compounded by the ownership of the whole process (or so we thought at the time) by the learners. The work was peer assessed and small groups</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">(about 5 people)</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">worked in action learning sets with a tutor to support each other. The open space was with large groups</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">of students (15-20 people) who came together from all over the UK to share learning</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">three times a year. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Part of the course was very unstructured with guidelines and boundaries rather than a 'normal' course. I am</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">more than</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">happy to answer any questions you may have if I can help.</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi All,</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">A friend who teaches at the university here (UNH) (she also teaches at a local HS) recently experienced World Cafe and Open Space, both at a conference in Florida in December. She's thinking about using these tools in a new university course she's designing. Has anyone had experience with using WC or OS in a classroom setting? If yes, advice? You can reply directly to her: melinda Salazar <msalazar@cisunix.unh.edu> if you prefer, but it would be interesting to read the responses here, if you are willing.</FONT></SPAN></P>
