摘要：Studies in technology-rich learning environments have reported positive outcomes of activelearning when compared to the traditional didactic classroom; others have found no benefitsor have found interruption to learning due to the distraction of the technology. Evidence isrequired to support effective technology spaces that promote professional preparation,engagement and learning transfer. The impact of a technology-enabled collaboration studioon facilitating team-based learning for professional preparation through a case study inbiomedical sciences was explored using a mixed method approach. Explicit assessment itemsas objective measures of student learning outcomes and implicit subjective, self-reportedfeelings of engagement and readiness for clinical practice is reported. Quantitative resultsshowed an average 11.8% (p < 0.001; 95% CI 6.6-17.0) improvement in the finalexamination score for those students who had content delivered in the collaborativeenvironment compared to a standard classroom. Qualitative results also support the notionthat engagement and learning was enhanced. Investment towards a technology-enabledcollaboration studio has shown a contributory effect that improves final grade outcomesthrough increased engagement, communication, motivation and professionalism for thelearner. This research informs guidelines for best practice in active learning environments,particularly in purpose-built high technology learning spaces.Implications for practice or policy:• Learning outcomes can be improved by investing in technology-enabled collaborationstudios.• Engagement and a sense of professional practice are enhanced by active learning in atechnology-rich learning environment.• Institutions should invest in technology-enabled active learning spaces.
