The course helps students to build strategies for the conscious design and development of physical and virtual learning environments, known as schoolscapes. The course raises awareness of the role schoolscapes play in institutional interaction of various kinds: classroom interaction, organizational cultures of communication, and narrated local/national/global history. The course invites students to build a spatial and social understanding of learning, which contributes to the development of original teaching practices focused on interaction, exploratory learning and customised learning environments.

2–6 ECTS credits can be gained with the course. Modules 1 and 2 (1 ECTS each) are compulsory while Modules 3 (1 ECTS) and 4 (3 ECTS) are elective. On completion of the course, the participants will also receive a FORTHEM Open Badge.
