Two major methods of analysis were used to analysis student's learning experience in lecture theatres: Ethnography and Laddering.
Ethnography was done by recalling some of the observations on students' behaviours while attending a lecture. In general, it was found that most lecture theatres are not ergonomically designed, that overuse of powerpoint bores students, and that lecture theatres do not provide the space and power plug for laptops.
Laddering approach was done by interviewing students about what they think of their learning experience in lecture theatres. Similar points were mentioned about lack of seat comfort, not being able to see properly, and the low level of interest in lectures.
Designs and corrections were identified that could improve students learning experience. Some of these points include:
- circular lecture theatre design
- better control of temperature
- make classes smaller and interactive
- design for laptop use
