The Sense of Place in the Physical Classroom, Online Courses and Hybrid Courses; Evaluations of the University Classroom; Effects of the Physical University Classroom Environment on Teaching and Learning





Imagine that you are in a classroom.
Visualize the ceiling and all the overhead systems that provide lighting and conditioned air and fire protection.

Be aware of the layout of walls and
envision their subsurface networks for electrical and data service.
Picture the furniture - feel it against your body and
observe the seating arrangement.
Study the doorways and fixtures; inspect the windows and floor.
Imagine strolling across the floor.

Now consider, if you were an undergraduate in class,
how might the very act of compensating because of the design of your classroom,
affect your learning and how you are taught?
