Overview...
Reimagining the ‘pedagogic space’ is a precondition to creating a paradigm shift in learning. Changing physical spaces can have very positive impacts on learning processes and experiences. Understanding how designed spaces support and enhance learning is crucial to creating a positive, innovative environment.
Designing creative learning spaces needs to be on the change agenda at both the macro and micro levels of a community. At the macro level, a collective concept of space needs to be envisioned for an entire organisation. People must abandon the notion of separated classrooms to a more fluid concept of highly flexible, agile, collaborative spaces. At the micro level, the wider spatial vision for a learning community needs translated by smaller teams into the required spaces for learning, suited to a range of experiences specific to groupings or activities.
