What are new learning spaces?

New Learning Spaces are designed to increase active learning and to support a more student-centred approach to teaching and learning. While new learning spaces vary in their exact characteristics, they typically are:

  • carefully planned to facilitate interactions between teams of students;
  • designed to allow for flexible use and arrangement of furniture;
  • constructed to enable the teacher to both teach and facilitate the class from anywhere in the room; and
  • technology enabled to encourage active learning.
