The Learning Spaces Collaboratory (LSC) began in 2010 from a foundation of Project Kaleidoscope facilities-related work. It is based on the premise that robust learning happens as students are:
Actively engaged in evaluating, constructing, and reevaluating their own knowledge
Actively engaged in a social and supportive community
Encouraged to assess, reflect, and build on prior knowledge
Empowered to address problems that are meaningful personally and of import to the world beyond the campus.
