Abstract
The development of online and virtual teaching and learning environments to
augment formal face-to-face environments raises questions about the way the new communication
and information technologies (CITs) are being incorporated into the on-campus
environment. More importantly, this development challenges the meaning of the on-campus
student learning experience. The new CITs require institutions, teachers and researchers to
reconsider the relationship of the physical setting to the student learning experience. This
paper highlights examples of recent developments of new learning environments which have
been enhanced by the contribution of educational developers at several Australian universities.
It also proposes a set of pedagogically informed principles to guide the development of
on-campus teaching and learning environments which may feature the use of CITs.
