This course was an eye-opening experience that influenced my approach to designing and creating learning spaces. It covered a range of important topics, from the psychology of learning environments to practical tips on classroom layout, all with the goal of fostering student engagement, creativity, and productivity.
Ashley Swanson
This class was just what I needed to freshen up my classroom and my techniques after 18 years of teaching. I learned so many new things that allowed me to create a fresh classroom design and floor plan to help my students learn in the best environment possible.
Greg Sanchez
This class provided very useful perspective concerning the physical atmosphere of a classroom. The activities and assignments were helpful and allowed me the chance to explore useful ideas I hadn’t really considered. Edmond’s class included resources that allowed us to experiment with classroom design ideas in a meaningful way.
