New Learning Spaces
Rethinking the "classroom"
Contemporary learning spaces need to accommodate a new generation who:
-
Prefer multitasking & quick, non linear access to information
-
Are visually oriented
-
Are highly networked, interactive and social
-
Increasingly mobile
-
Have a low tolerance for lecture style teaching
-
Prefer active learning rather than passive learning
-
Rely heavily on communications technologies to access information and to carry out social and professional interactions
-
To meet the needs of these learners we need to move to contemporary learning strategies which provide students with opportunities to be flexible, collaborative, connected and creative.
SMX20 is a technology rich learning environment that provides these very opportunities. It is a space that can be used both for group learning & self directed working with formal and informal teaching environments using the latest technologies and most up to date flexible furniture solutions.
