Title:
Designing Creative Learning Spaces
Time:
30/10/2007 4:00 PM
Session Overview:
The typical classroom has evolved over the years and in the 21st Century; technology has played a significant part in its evolvement. The ability to access high quality digital learning resources is altering the educational landscape.
 
There is a need to blend technology and space to create a learning environment that is conducive. Understanding what constitutes an effective blueprint is critical in the design of creative learning spaces. The most practical are those that are productive and instil confidence, flexibility and inspiration in those who utilise them.
 
Mary will take you on a journey to discover a kaleidoscope of creative design strategies to enhance the learning classroom and experience.
