At
podDesking
we have carefully taken many steps towards creating
the ideal computer-based learning environment,
and to offer best practise for group learning
environments.
The Seating configuration we have
created, not only conforms to
Physical
ergonomic standards,
it also conforms to many
Cognitive and Organizational
ergonomic principles,
as
it creates a community environment with everyone
sitting at between 45o and 60o
angle, which promotes Collaboration as everybody
faces each other
in a non-confrontational manner, and provides
excellent
group
dynamics.
The evidence
shows that Effective teams are an intermediary goal
towards getting good, sustainable results.
Studies show that personal space is
very important to individuals, and if invaded by
another, makes them feel uncomfortable.
With the clever use of angles we
employ, these issues are reduced to an absolute
minimum.
We have studied many Sociological
best practises for teaching environments, and have
distilled them into the products we now create.

Physical ergonomics
deals with the human body's responses to
physical and
physiological stress.
Cognitive ergonomics,
also known as engineering psychology, concerns
mental processes such as
perception,
attention,
cognition, motor control, and
memory storage and retrieval as they affect
interactions among humans and other elements of a
system. Relevant topics include mental workload,
vigilance,
decision making, skilled performance,
human error,
human-computer interaction, and
training.
