The role of physical and virtual spaces in the learning and employability of higher education graduates

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we explore how the relationship between physical and virtual spaces in the higher education process affects the development of the knowledge and competencies that graduates need as they enter the labour market. A discussion of learning in higher education from the perspective of physical and virtual spaces is followed by a section on relevant views concerning successful learning and then on phenotypic forms of knowledge and competencies. We summarise the focus of each section in a final conceptual model. Five sets of questions for operationalising indicators for studying the interconnectedness of physical and virtual spaces in learning in higher education are derived from the model. The paper is based on an exploratory, integrative review of relevant sources.
