The Reflective Hub is a physical platform where virtual and physical students are brought together through reflective learning. A drop in space serves multiple functions and is flexible to support virtual learners who study an online course. There are areas for  regular informal crits. and workshops alongside a child friendly space which accommodates individuals who can’t seek child care. A contoured landscape connects these learning zones. Suggestive seating for comfort and creative collaboration helps relax individuals who find the academic environment intimidating. There is also a buddy system in place to connect all students via Skype. This addresses the issues surrounding online courses, including lack of face to face interaction and support. The Reflective Hub is designed to create learning opportunities and partnerships between its users.
