    What is INSPIRE?

    INSPIRE is a hub and network for excellence and enterprise in learning resulting from a strategic partnership between the Education and Training Directorate (the Department) and the University of Canberra (UC). INSPIRE works with the Faculty of Education on pre-service teacher education and the Centre for Teaching and Learning on new learning environments applying design-based approaches to learning. INSPIRE is learning commons, a place to imagine, experiment and design new ways of working and learning digitally. We focus on a futures perspective and developing foresight, not just knowledge and skills.

    Funding for this building was provided by the Australia Government with additional support from the University of Canberra and the ACT Education & Training Directorate.
