ABSTRACT:
This learning system includes a re-configurable learning zone composed of a large number of free-standing work/learn islands distributed about a large open interior space of a building structure, to provide for a variety of re-configurable areas to facilitate the learning of a variety of topics or subject matters to be learned. A series of fixed learning zones are disposed generally along the periphery of the interior space to serve as meeting and project areas to help facilitate a group of advanced learners that has progressed from initiatory activities at the re-configurable islands to cooperating with one another in complex team projects. The re-configurable zone is disposed intermediate to an entrance way or gateway to the interior space and the remotely located fixed learning zones, so that as the learners enter the space via the entrance way, they are exposed to substantially the entire context of the arrangement of learning zones with the proximate zone being of lessor complexity and the more remote zone or zones being of greater complexity to help provide the learners with a more comfortable feeling upon entering and progressing through the learning environment, thereby facilitating and enriching the learning experience to achieve a balance between the complexity of the topics being learned and the arrangement and configuration of the learning environment for a relatively large number of learners being exposed to the system.
