Learning Landscapes
Learning landscapes are outdoor educational environments designed to enable teaching and learning. Learning landscapes use nature as a basis for designing active, meaningful experiences that engage learners. Learning landscapes connect concepts presented inside the classroom with nature-based experiences and real-world applications. Delivering course content through a learning + design framework improves both pedagogic efficacy and design relevancy. The result is elevated achievement and performance.
