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
