Learning spaces photo competition student winner


Library’s learning spaces photo competition attracted some interest from ECU students when it ran during October 2009.

We were asking students to take photos of what they considered “good” and “bad” learning spaces around the campuses and to give us some reasons why they made their choice. Photos were taken of a range of areas such as megalabs, library and outdoor areas on all campuses: Joondalup, Bunbury and Mount Lawley.

Adrianna Pracas, (pictured top left) a final year Teacher Education student from Mount Lawley Campus was the lucky winner. Dan Archibald, University Librarian, presented her prize of an iPod Touch, at a morning tea function last week.

Kristina MaGee was one of the runners up (pictured top right) who received an iTunes voucher as prize. Congratulations to both students!

Thanks to all students who participated. The photos and comments will help the university plan future campus spaces.
