An excellent module that helps you in redesigning appropriate learning spaces to foster the desired learning engagement and activity. Good tips!
The questions are not working as unable to select answers to any of the questions
Very interesting perspective on traditional vs modern classrooms.
Clever idea, would work well within my classes.
thought provoking
Good
a good module, made me think.
A very good way to consider active learning spaces, engaging learners inside and outside of the traditional classroom environment.
not currently practical due to the lack of digital resources available to learners
I struggled with engaging my learners but want to aim to implement this concept of active learning.
We need to consider how to complete this in the digital classroom.
Room layout discussion may need to be re-visited in line with current Covid 19 restrictions.
No learner facing the front is a great idea.
This was enjoyable, I always consider flip learning and active learning.
This was good, clearly set out
Very good module. Clear, bite-size chunk of learning which gets you thinking!
