It is a useful site indeed.

This site has given me more insight about blended learning.

Cheers Nellie, I like it, the classroom loses its walls but, bingo! It is more exciting and more engaging to the learner!

I think this resource will enrich our understanding on breaking the walls concept.

in fact once this is put into practice. the coaching and cramming of answers so that students pass exams will come to an end.

Students are given opportunity to lead their teachers with their knowledge and interest in reaching beyond the classroom.

From the link given i have actually learnt that space designed to allow for several activities is reason to give learners chance to carry out more projects compared to the traditional set-up.

From the shared link, I get points that emphasize factors that limit the adjustment and redesigning of learning spaces. True and they are common to many of our school situations.
However we need to share information on what basis or factors do justify the need for the learning spaces to be redesigned at certain points Jackie. What is your take?

Thanks for the observation! There is need to improve on those areas highlighted which all encompass physical environment if we are make headway in technology integration.

I chanced upon the following resources:

Yes the issue is not so much about creating new physical spaces than it is about creating virtual spaces.

internet is an important aspect in learning beyond the classroom walls

Edward this is a wonderful post. Teaching using online resources does not only break down the walls but it is also another avenue to let learners collaborate.

But in the real sense of it more learning now takes place out side the classroom than inside of it.

I have this to consolidate the argument:

Thank you Jackie,
I come in to say that actually human dynamics are key to work space design.

I do agree with you Jackie with this. In reality allowing room for both online and physically interactions by any kind of design is itself flexibility. We have to think through plans and settings that allow more of these adjustments gradually.

Thanks Geoffrey. Site is rich with information on classroom learning and technology and it also has links. Most importantly it tells of how technology supports learning beyond the four walls.

Thanks for your contribution.The cite gives insight on extending learning beyond the classroom.

I am amused by the contrast of going to school on the first day then and now. Time will come when you can attend school on the first day from your bedroom using a mobile tech tool and say hi Tutor!!!!!

Wonderful resource. It does not only talk about breaking down the walls, it goes on to tell us other wonderful practices like classes becoming collaborative.

True Geoffrey. The collaboration goes past the walls and makes them nonexistent

I agree with you Geoffrey. They are not limited by time too. Any time any where they can study.
They enables students to remain engaged.

True Geoffrey and Marg. Include the following: Technology promotes self-directed learning,provides far more access to many students bringing about a universal connectivity.

Thanks Julius. This is a rich site. It gives detailed information on how to go about incorporating technologies, what e-learning entails and its advantages and constraints. It shows how technology brings down walls.

Good work Julius. In this cite i have got insights on the virtual teaching and learning environments.

VITLE allows one to teach in a virtual classroom and makes teaching easy for non-technical teachers.

Good site. Thanks.

True Julius

Thanks Twaha it is a good resource.

Good Twaha, i have got exposure to on different learning spaces and it has enriched my knowledge about the topic.

Good site for space whether physical or virtual has an impact on learning.

Quite informative thank you
