To find out what 21st century learning spaces will mean for educators, make sure you don't miss Education Services Australia next networking event.
A new environment of schooling has been emerging over the last decade of the 20th century and it has been accelerating in the 21st century, stimulated by a new economy, new technologies and new understanding about learning. In today’s interconnected, technology driven world, learning typically takes place in physical, virtual and remote places. It has the potential to be an integrated and highly engaging environment in which learners learn. The new learning spaces incorporate new technologies, creating new learning possibilities by engaging the learner, enhancing achievements and extending interactions with local and global communities. Now with the Federal Government’s Digital Education Revolution (DER), and Building the Education Revolution (BER) initiatives it is more important than ever that educators plan for 21st century learning.
The event will cover:
-
Characteristics of the new learner and their needs
-

-
What are the design principles for learning spaces
