The course helps students to build strategies for the conscious design and development of physical and virtual learning environments, known as schoolscapes. The course raises awareness of the role schoolscapes play in institutional interaction of various kinds: classroom interaction, organizational cultures of communication, and narrated local/national/global history. The course invites students to build a spatial and social understanding of learning, which contributes to the development of original teaching practices focused on interaction, exploratory learning and customised learning environments.

The course is developed by FORTHEM Multilingualism in School and Higher Education Lab and will be organised during the spring semester 2025. The live, hybrid meetings start on 18th February. 

1-2 ECTS credits can be gained with the course. Modules 1 and 3 (1 ECTS each) are open via Digital Academy.

Module 1: self-study module; completion of 13 of the 21 units on theories and methods of learning environment research and practical examples from several pedagogical and cultural contexts.
