Helping Suzanne with her project of the caves in Tanga (Tanzania) for my class EDTEC 671, I discover another area that is really interesting.
Is about museums layouts to enable, support and even enhance the learning experience .... this crossroads among architecture, graphic design & instructional design is amazing.
In the The Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) website ... great site by the way ... I found a very interesting article titled "The Importance of Place" by Rob Semper.
Here is how starts:
" While learning is often thought to be a process of the mind, much of what actually occurs during the learning process is predicated by features of the learner’s environment. The variety of stimuli, the social aspect of the setting, the spatial context, and even the amount of ambient light and sound all affect the learning experience. Even the external architecture of the building sends a strong message about visitor expectations."
