Flexible furnishings

Flexible furniture is typically equipped with casters, making it lightweight and easy to move. In the context of collaborative learning, flexible furniture is essential for dynamically adapting to the formation of workgroups of varying sizes and meeting the needs and learning objectives defined by the instructor at that time.

Ambient audio

Ambient audio refers to the sound present in the surrounding environment. In the context of a collaborative setting, installing systems to manage ambient audio is important to amplify the audio coming from remote participants and transmit the classroom audio to them without interference. However, assessing the actual feasibility of installing these technologies depends on the specific structure and layout of the classroom.

Collaborative set

A collaborative learning environment is based on small-group work. In this setting, students have the opportunity to work together, putting what they've learned into practice, and learn through interaction and sharing ideas. A collaborative learning environment features interactive whiteboards arranged along one or more walls, flexible furniture to accommodate groups of varying sizes, and solutions to ensure adequate acoustics.

Key points

  • The proposed model promotes a high level of interactivity between teacher and students;
  • It is suitable for small or medium classes, with less than 80 people;
  • Main objective: to apply the knowledge acquired through communication and collaboration;
  • The collaborative set is characterized by activities such as working in small groups, creating and sharing content;
  • Flexible and mobile furnishings are important to adapt to teaching needs;
  • The importance of acoustics and ambient sound must be considered to ensure a comfortable and disturbance-free environment.
