INTRODUCTION
Overview of the Learning Environment
A conducive learning environment should have the following characteristics:
Flexibility-there is opportunity to have small small groups, movable walls
Openness-learning corners/areas which could be shared.
Access to resources-audio-visual materials are ready and open for use.
Physical classroom-space is clean and safe.
Psychological atmosphere-it is friendly and accommodating.
Education has dramatically shifted in recent years, Schools aligned physical spaces to flexible spaces
that integrate technology to support the 21st century learning opportunities. The modern learning
environment incorporates three elements:
1. Connected devices such as notebooks, tablet, smart phones
2. Audio Visual tools including projectors and touch screen displays
3. Purposeful furniture such as standing desks, collaborative work stations and connected seating that
allow students to learn in different ways at different times.
Safety reminders in an on-line or virtual classroom environment:
1. Encourage parents and carers involvement
2. Make lesson plans as interactive as possible to keep attention of students. Be flexible with class
length and topics.
3. Encourage public chatting.
4. Use of password, log in and log out.
