What makes a good learning environment? Over the pa st century education authors have tried to define the concept of learning environment s as it is recognised to mean more than just physical space. This paper will discuss learnin g in the context of practice opportunities, break-out rooms, technology and grou p learning. The authors contend that using break-out rooms assists deep learning; rooms need to be big enough for a group to spread out so as to obtain good social distance. Thi s aids discussion of a collegially combative nature. A large whiteboard is vital; this simple technology facilitates formative group-based learning. And assessment structure matt ers; a single end of unit assessment focuses students on formative learning opportunitie s rather than on piecemeal mini assessments
