Designing a University Classroom for Instruction by Social Media

Next week I attend the Social Medial Strategies Summit – Higher Education in Boston (July 21-23, 2015) where I will participate in a workshop about bringing Social Media into the Higher Education Curricula. The workshop goal is to “learn how to leverage gamification theories on social media to offer a unique and modern classroom approach.”( Corey Padveen). How then, does one design campus learning environments to enhance social media teaching practices and learning experiences? How should that physical environment respond to social/personal modes of interactions? Can the design of the physical classroom environment make face-to face instruction relevant in coursework utilizing social media?
