Learner Engagement:Participants will engage in a structured, small-group discussion activity where they analyze a classroom layout and identify spatial features that support or constrain technology-rich learning. Drawing on findings from the classroom redesign study and industry research on AI and learning environments, groups will discuss one redesign strategy to better support collaborative and technology-mediated teaching activities. Polling questions and visual examples from the research will be used throughout the session to prompt discussion, comparison across contexts, and reflection on participants’ own learning spaces.
Learning Objective 1:Examine how instructors and students perceive shifts in teaching, learning, and technology use within AI-supported classroom environments.
