What is Learning Environments

Refers to a physical location and/or context in which learning occurs. In this chapter, we are specifically referring to a combination of more traditional classroom contexts as well as synchronous online learning contexts.

Contextualization of education has not been too important for schools until the last decades because, despite some ancient evidence, education took place especially in the school institution. In the modern approach, the learning environment encompasses both the educational context and the learning experience, it represents physical environments created by teachers in order to generate a meaningful learning experience for students. It can be in the school building (s) - the classrooms, studios, halls, indoor and outdoor sports facilities and other learning spaces that are created and used in school as play areas. Learning environments can be online collaboration spaces and also outdoor, away from school as local cultural venues (theater, gallery, museum), public areas in various natural or artificial living environments that do not necessarily have an extrinsic educational function.
