AbstractThis project investigates how to overcome traditional learning environment’s rigidity; those established practices that may hinder full use of what we might call new learning environments. It addresses how teachers adapt their teaching to changing learning environments, what impact new educational spaces have on teachers and students, how to organise students with different criteria, and how learning environments can be redesigned in old schools with limited investments. The research studies four schools: in Denmark, the Hellerup Folkeskole in Gentofte and the Ørestad Gymnasium in Copenhagen; in Italy, the Enrico Fermi High School in Mantua and IC3 Piersanti Mattarella secondary first grade in Modena. New learning environments are intended to enhance teacher collaboration and stimulate the exchange of new teaching methods, enabling learning personalisation. This is often facilitated by team teaching, which in this chapter is seen as a “bridge-culture” concept, offering a wider vision including structural and organisational details. The chapter discusses how this strategy lead to students improved learning skills, them taking on greater personal responsibility and displaying aptitude to study in different ways. In this sample of “architecture feeds pedagogy” schools, some key concepts are explored that might guide future learning environments design: readability, “semantic-topical”, flexibility, invisible pedagogy and affordances.

New Learning

Outstanding advances in educational technology are significantly influencing new learning environments, where it is necessary for teachers to respond and for learners to be able to adapt to the modern age of knowledge and information dissemination. The development of ICT has catalyzed the ability of all types of data to be reproduced visually (visualization). The term visualization refers to the use of various visual aids, which makes a subject more eloquent. This is especially useful for teaching a variety of special courses (environmental education), geography (maps, atlases), history (historical maps, atlases). Geography is a comprehensive and one of the most demanding subjects, as its study deals with a variety of different topics. This course can be made more effective and produce more permanent results through the use of innovative tools. One of these tools is information. In the context of the present study, the use of infographics, a pioneering visual tool transformed into a reliable teaching tool-guide in the classroom, is presented.

The Impact

This chapter presents some of the possibilities and approaches that are used in the application of AI (artificial intelligence) and AR (augmented reality) in the new learning environments. AI will add another dimension to distance learning or eLearning that in some cases already includes AR (augmented reality) virtual learning environments. Because of this advent in available technology and the impact it will have on learning, assessment of newly structured parameters and their impact on student outcomes is crucial when measuring student learning. For some of us there might be a concern about the domination of AI as seen in the movie The Terminator, but we can take ease in the notion that it is not only AI versus humans. A new version of human augmented intelligence (HI) is being developed as we speak.

The Centre for Applied Language Studies (CALS), founded in 1997, brings together researchers and postgraduate students from several disciplines in language studies, and is structured in three research clusters: New learning environments; Discourse, society and identity; and Plurilingualism and language policy. There is a certain amount of overlapping between the clusters, and several researchers are active in more than one cluster. Thus research in language teacher education is present both in the New learning environments cluster and in Discourse, society and identity. Corpus-based methodologies are also prominent in both these clusters. Furthermore, discourse analysis is present as a methodology in all three. The following sections provide information on current research and selected research outcomes within the three research clusters from 2011 to 2013.
