-What are the major influences on a student’s education and how does space affect these influences?
I will examine the effects of the following:
-personal space
-class size
-class design (layout)
-medium of presentation of information
-digital space within the physical classroom (social forum)
The culmination of this research should address problems within the current system and offer solutions or an entirely new framework (implementing a social forum within education rather than top-down learning for example) for learning.
As far as a reading list goes...well it doesn't go very far. I'm having great difficulty finding anything beyond a single article here or there that does more than examine one facet of learning. I'm continuing the search however.
On an unrelated note, I won't be able to make class tomorrow. Instead I'll be in court for an accident I was involved in over the winter break =( Let me know what I need to do for next week and if there is anything I can take part in over the blog!
