AC2 | The Future of Learning Spaces is Designing Experiences (Room Columbia)

10 Jun 19
2:00 PM - 2:45 PM

Tracks: Active Classroom

What if classrooms were replaced with experiences? Experiences that transform classrooms from places where students come to remember information that will be used later, into places where you learn by grappling with problems and solutions here and now. In other words, shift focus away from designing physical spaces and move towards designing the mindset at work within the space. What seems like semantics is essential to envisioning the future of spaces that supports virtual and augmented reality, making, media development, design thinking, and more. This session will examine practical examples of learning spaces that challenge conventional thinking of where students learn. You’ll explore the benefits of considering learning experiences when designing space and discover strategies for engaging students with new and emerging technology.
