Our presentation will cover the Smolny college experience of faculty-technologists-librarian-administration collaboration in creating physical and virtual spaces that enhance students engagement in the learning process. We’ll speak briefly about the spaces but main attention will be paid to the use of the learning management system as a space for creation and realisation of the learning courses that help to build initial social networks within the students and create an open and friendly athmosphere for sharing learning experience, group projects in study and creative work.
