Learning and Teaching in Practice/Learning environments

A learning environment is the overall context within which learning takes place. It may include any mix of:


 * face-to-face learning
 * online learning
 * various types of learning activities
 * learning resources such as readings or interactive materials in print or online
 * assessment approaches
 * any other components used to 'deliver' or support learning.

In the photo of the lecture shown here, the learning environment needs to be seen as a whole, including:


 * Physical environment - the venue.
 * Hardware and software used for the presentation - computer, screen, projector, PowerPoint, etc.
 * Other learning resources - e.g., handouts.
 * Teaching approaches used - i.e., the lecture and presentation.
 * Learning activity - listening, viewing and taking notes.
