Future Learning Spaces for Learning Communities

playlist image — Future Learning Spaces for Learning Communities

Our combined projects can offer important contributions to the exciting and ongoing LC research within the learning sciences. As LC thinking evolves, there are new possibilities for what can be done by considering the spaces where they are situated. For example, new technologies that are reported upon in this symposium allow for distant knowledge building communities to learn from each other’s collective idea threads (see Zhang & Chen). Embedded “Wallscopes” allow students to carefully observe life cycles of multiple habitats within the walls of one classroom (see Slotta, Cober, Acosta, & Moher). Pod-like furnishings and arrangements in undergraduate physics classrooms promote active learning and community-based knowledge (see Charles, Whittaker, & Lenton). Flexible walls, easily combinable furniture, and embedded screens allow for opportunistic collaboration within an emergent-design (see Ben-Zvi, Hod, Kali, & Weiss). Finally, open technology-enabled collaborative spaces allow multiple LCs to enact their practices (see Rook, McDonald, Choi, & Tietjen). Together, these projects show how LCs can be refined by considering the way space constrain or give new opportunities to certain kinds of activities and practices.

Description

Our combined projects can offer important contributions to the exciting and ongoing LC research within

the learning sciences. As LC thinking evolves, there are new possibilities for what can be done by considering the

spaces where they are situated. For example, new technologies that are reported upon in this symposium allow for

distant knowledge building communities to learn from each other’s collective idea threads (see Zhang & Chen).

Embedded “Wallscopes” allow students to carefully observe life cycles of multiple habitats within the walls of

one classroom (see Slotta, Cober, Acosta, & Moher). Pod-like furnishings and arrangements in undergraduate

physics classrooms promote active learning and community-based knowledge (see Charles, Whittaker, & Lenton).

Flexible walls, easily combinable furniture, and embedded screens allow for opportunistic collaboration within

an emergent-design (see Ben-Zvi, Hod, Kali, & Weiss). Finally, open technology-enabled collaborative spaces

allow multiple LCs to enact their practices (see Rook, McDonald, Choi, & Tietjen). Together, these projects show

how LCs can be refined by considering the way space constrain or give new opportunities to certain kinds of

activities and practices.

As there is greater public acceptance around the need to reshape educational spaces (The New York

Times, 2013), the learning sciences has an increasingly challenging role of translating its findings to the public

sphere. By deeply studying how learning communities interact with their physical environments, we hope to offer

a coherent vision to guide reform, which includes the physical and locational aspects of learning. While this

symposium is a small step forward in this disciplinary endeavor, it is invariably important to the goal of

transforming learning and empowering learners. In the following sections, we provide a background to these

issues in learning sciences research, laying the theoretical grounds to consider the five innovations in this

symposium
