What Learning Commons Stands For

Learning Commons is a friendly, flexible, collaborative, comfortable and convenient learning environment on campus. It provides learner oriented and integrated services with individual and group facilities. It brings about a coalition of librarians, IT staff, faculties etc working in partnership under the same roof for the advantage of the learners. Learning Commons centres around the idea of providing essential services and resources in one location. The effort makes learning much easier and effective. The idea 'improves the student experience' as conceived in the Priority Area 5 of the University of Botswana's Strategy for Excellence.
