The focus of this course is on innovative (modern or flexible) learning environments with the aim to encourage critical examination of the theories and practice underpinning spatial definition, temporal character and digital technology in relation to curriculum, learning, and teaching. The steady shift to technology-rich, flexible educational environments disguises certain assumptions that require critical attention. Similarly, the associated promotion of de-privatised practice and student-led pedagogical approaches related to these developments raise significant questions about teaching and learning. This course supports educational practitioners as they develop a more attuned understanding of how spatiality influences learning. Course participants will develop their knowledge and understanding of the design of flexible environments and the practices these innovative spaces enable through both collaborative and autonomous study. Comprehending and critically responding to the relationship between pedagogy and space requires a knowledge of the elements of effective design and how these can be evaluated for their pedagogical value.
