Key words and concepts
Extended class
The concept of an extended classroom refers to extending the learning experience beyond classroom hours and the physical confines of the classroom. This may include the use of digital technologies for remote communication and collaboration, access to online resources, and interaction with experts or students from other classes or institutions. The extended classroom aims to create a richer and more engaging learning environment, allowing students to connect with the outside world and apply their acquired knowledge in real-world contexts.
Learning Ecosystem
A learning ecosystem refers to the set of elements, such as physical spaces, technologies, resources, and organization, that contribute to creating a comprehensive and integrated learning environment. This environment fosters interaction, collaboration, and the application of acquired knowledge. A learning ecosystem takes into account the different dimensions of learning, such as the physical dimension (spaces and physical resources), the technological dimension (digital tools), and the organizational dimension (organizational structures and processes).
Learning spaces
Learning spaces refer to environments where learning occurs. These spaces can include traditional classrooms, laboratories, libraries, outdoor spaces, and virtual spaces. Learning spaces must be designed to foster interaction, collaboration, and student activity, allowing them to experiment, explore, and create knowledge.
