Learning Spaces with Sam Elkington
Following on from the Society for Research into Higher Education's excellent Landscapes of Learning for Unknown Futures symposia series, University of Teesside's Professor Sam Elkington shares some fascinating insights from the symposia series as well as his own take on the largely unexplored phenomenon that is learning spaces. Sam delves into critical questions on the role of space in learning, spatial considerations when designing instruction, the role and impact of digital technologies on space, and how we might better support colleagues to develop their spatial literacies in education contexts. This is a brilliant episode!
