Learn by Design: Apply to Showcase Your Vision for Learning Environments at SXSWedu
The way that we teach and learn is evolving and so are the classrooms and the environments in which we learn. For 2017, SXSWedu is putting a spotlight on individuals and organizations reimagining these spaces with a NEW competition, Learn by Design, that puts the design of physical learning spaces and the impact on learning outcomes center stage!
In a survey of the community conducted this summer, we discovered that 86% of respondents believe that physical design of the space affects learning most of the time. That same survey revealed key traits of innovative learning spaces to be collaborative, flexible, comfortable, simple, and outside, among more. All this to say; we’re excited to host an intentional conversation about how the learning environment affects the success of students.
