learning, technologyAbstract
Universities are facing many challenges as they are expected to prepare their students in the best possible way to contribute to sustainable societal- and industrial development. Students will become researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and role models, and should be able to contribute in the transition to a greener and smarter future. The task is almost impossible. It requires full attention from both students and their teachers. To successfully complete this task, universities explore different approaches, including developing smart technology-supported active learning arenas.
This report provides an insight into the technological development of the learning environment and presents wish lists for organizing a smart technology-supported learning environment, both in the physical and in the virtual environment, on campus and online (virtual). In addition, the report presents possibilities for appropriate development of competencies. The infrastructure for teaching, research, and administration must be as good as possible. Universities and other educational institutions around the world are experimenting with various technological solutions to establish a learning and working environment that is adapted to increased expectations and demands from students, employees, and society in general.
An active learning arena must consider both physical, hybrid and virtual aspects and might address design and organization of physical and hybrid classrooms on campus, offices on campus, home offices, meeting places on campus, lounges and meeting rooms on campus, collaboration opportunities on campus, virtual rooms and virtual campuses, laboratories, social media, and biophilic areas.
