Abstract: Amidst a variety of changes in education the typical classroom hasn’t changed in decades. If we are serious about enhancing learning then we need to rethink the classroom. Schools and universities around the world are creating collaborative learning environments, spaces that integrate the latest technology, flexible furniture, and other tools that support active learning. In an effort to better understand learning spaces this panel will share insights from the front lines about what’s needed and what actually works in day-to-day classroom use.
