The 21st Century Learning Space is Smart

The purpose and size of the room determines sightlines and audio requirements. Sightlines should be designed such that users can see the whiteboard/screens.

Eliminate noise and enhance speech consistency for audibility for effective participation.

Adaptive lighting options that support dimmed lights for presentation mode and bright lights for learning mode must be included.

Technology should aid educators as well. Spaces should have a place for projector, laptop, books, wire management, and mobility in the lectern.

Portable media units should be used to support all technological and collaborative requirements in every layout.

Video conferencing solutions should be offered to promote interaction and improve exposure to the outside world.
