Active Learning Spaces
Educational change is happening and happening fast for the first time in decades, and some schools from primary through higher education are in the midst of experiencing:
- What it means to be learner centric
- Why the use of problem–project– or inquiry-based education strategies in formal learning spaces is important; and
- How educational professional development, technology and space can be used as effective tools to support this
Many educators are embracing a more active and immersive style of instruction, engaging with students, leveraging technology and exploring more and varied educational strategies.
Formal + Informal Learning Spaces
Formal learning spaces where technology and the physical space are integrated to support pedagogy and create a more active and engaging experience for instructors and students.
Informal learning spaces should offer students a range of places and the choice and control to select the best environment for their needs–focused individual study, dyadic work, or large team collaborative.
