Abstract
This paper discusses the spatial significance within Online and Distance Learning (ODL) environment for design-based students. Due to the challenges in online design learning, there is a need to uncover the aspects of supportive learning space that inspires creativity and nurtures the students’ independence in managing their Personal Learning Environment (PLE). Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the design-based students’ perception of an ideal learning space in the ODL approach. The objective is to identify the aspects of conducive learning space in the ODL implementation from the students’ point of view. The methodology employed is an open-ended design brief that constructs students (n=65) to create their ideal learning space for ODL implementation. Findings of this study assert that a conducive ODL environment for design-based students consists of the physical aspects as well as psychological aspects within a space.
