White Paper: Technology-Empowered Learning: Six Spatial Insights

This design research study was conducted to evaluate the spatial implications of technology on learning spaces. The authors report six major findings:

• Person-to-person connections remain essential for successful learning
• Technology is supporting richer face-to-face interactions and higher-level cognitive learning
• Integrating technology into classrooms mandates flexibility and activity-based space planning
• Spatial boundaries are loosening
• Spaces must be designed to capture and stream information
• High-tech and low-tech will coexist
