The Mind

This chapter begins with a critique of traditional models of curriculum development as overly rigid, fragmented, and disconnected from the true nature of the learner. Holistic learning is described as engaging the mind, body, heart, and spirit of the learner in relationship to the learning environment. Holistic learning is earth-centered, participatory, and inclusive of the cultural context of the learners. These various learning domains and their relationship to curriculum are discussed, including the application of learning from indigenous communities. Several examples of arts-based and creative learning activities are offered along with holistic ways of developing learning objectives and assessing learning.

The Impact

A holistic learning environment is one that nurtures all aspects of students' learning. The environment is safe, supportive, and provides opportunities to help students deal with nonacademic as well as academic factors that impact their learning. Creation of such an environment requires the establishment of a supportive learning community. For a variety of reasons, establishing such a learning community of first-year medical students can be challenging. This communication presents one approach to meeting this challenge in a medical school Human Physiology course. Steps were taken at the beginning of the course to create the community, and activities designed to reinforce these efforts were incorporated into the course as it progressed. Two pilot studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that providing students with a participatory music experience may help to promote a holistic learning environment by helping them restore a sense of balance to their emotional well-being as well as reinforce a sense of community in the classroom. Student response to these activities indicated that these efforts provided emotional support during stressful periods during the quarter, helped promote a feeling of safety within the environment, and reenergized the class during long class sessions. This project illustrates that each instructor, within the confines of his/her own classroom, can make a significant contribution to achieving a holistic learning envrionment for his/her students.

Learning Scenarios

In this paper we present our e-learning approach and describe the technical and instructional design of an adaptive learning environment. In order to avoid several reasons for distrust or frustration on the learner’s side, we developed an approach called configurable adaptation including the concept of individualized and adaptive learning paths. In cases where a course is offered in various (media) forms, the learner should be able to decide on its own, which one to use for the acquirement of the learning material. We demonstrate different approaches for a holistic learning experience using several learning scenarios like classroom participation and e-learning in a virtual learning environment. A special focus will be set on the description of the didactical paradigm synchronized blended learning, which allows the combination of different learning scenarios and the usage of learning material within all settings. Furthermore, we demonstrate examples how a (virtual) learning environment can be integrated into the course allowing dynamic and adaptive presentation of learning material as well as the direct inclusion of new – generated by algorithms or written by the learner or tutor – content on-the-fly.

This paper aims to identify the importance of the ideas on integrating Typographic Landscape in a campus environment. In creating interactive spaces that can create a holistic learning environment, an artistic approach has been developed. The design proposed is an installation of functional three-dimensional gigantic letters that will become a bench for students’ informal outdoor activities as part of sustainable initiatives that will beneficial to students in order to give adequate space for a learning environment. A quantitative method using questionnaires survey has been distributed to 160 students. The results of this study will provide a better understanding of the relationships between students' preference and landscape features and aim to enhance the quality of life in a campus environment.Keywords: Typographic landscape; learning environment; campus environment; interactive spaceeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.
