International Seminar - "Cutting-edge Learning Spaces and their Utilization, Rating, and Improvment"

Learning spaces at institutions of higher education around the world have seen remarkable development in recent years, such as the introduction of flexible furniture, utilization of information and communication technology, and the introduction of BYOD (bring your own device) and BYOE (bring your own encryption).
