Abstract

Teachers, when creating technology-enhanced learning environments, encounter organizational and situational constraints. This study, informed by sociomateriality theory and employing case study methods, analyzed self-reflections, peer feedback, and learning space designs of K-12 teachers in an online graduate course. The goal was to identify key factors teachers prioritized when designing authentic learning environments. Notably, teachers identified learning space opportunities and implemented changes with allocated funding. Implications highlight the potential to support teachers in learning space design.
