Teaching and Learning Spaces: Dynamics and Designs Paula Wallace

Learning space is the physical setting in which teaching and learning occurs. It can be highly diverse in terms of use, location and educational institution. It is ideally conducive to different learning styles such as passive or active learning, quiet learning, vocational learning, kinesthetic or physical learning, etc. Online or virtual classrooms and distance learning platforms are also considered a learning space. The design of a learning space is crucial to learning. Various considerations of temperature, ventilation, natural light, acoustics, etc. are important in the design of teaching and learning spaces. Learning spaces can be classified on the basis of pedagogy, academic level, location, subject specialization, age of students, etc. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of teaching and learning spaces. Some of the diverse topics covered here address the varied factors of learning space design and dynamics. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
