Learning space

Learning space or learning setting refers to a physical setting for a learning environment, a place in which teaching and learning occur.^[1] The term is commonly used as a more definitive alternative to "classroom,"^[2] but it may also refer to an indoor or outdoor location, either actual or virtual. Learning spaces are highly diverse in use, configuration, location, and educational institution. They support a variety of pedagogies, including quiet study, passive or active learning, kinesthetic or physical learning, vocational learning, experiential learning, and others. As the design of a learning space impacts the learning process, it is deemed important to design a learning space with the learning process in mind.
