“…Despite the constraints faced by teachers and students, the sudden digitalization of HE has in many cases worked better than anticipated even in spatial planning education (Frank, 2022). However, such a success should not be considered a complete surprise, since there are already functioning spatial planning degrees delivered fully online (Evans-Cowley, 2018). Although the shift from face-to-face to virtual teaching formed obstacles for some learning tasks and events, it enabled smoother implementation of others, for example by giving students more flexibility regarding their time management and the option to participate in courses from various locations (Mironowicz & Schretzenmayr, 2020;Marinoni et al, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic imposed urgent challenges for educational institutions. The sudden shift from on-site teaching to online distance learning offered the possibility to examine new settings of the studio, a core element of planning and architecture education. Although the pandemic is now over, online learning has secured a fixed place in university education, and consequently, educational institutions need to reconsider studio education based on the lessons learned during the pandemic. Through studying four studios taught at Aalto University, Finland, in 2020 and 2021, this article examines student-teacher experiences, and proposes opportunities for evolving studio education. The findings show that distance learning has in general sustained the objectives of studio education. However, challenges remain especially regarding the social aspects of learning. The degree of success of online teaching varied greatly depending on the tasks and the orientation of the studio (design or strategy). Technological aids and devices also had an influence on fulfilling the pedagogical objectives of learning. Professional socialization was highly affected by the online environment both in design and planning studios and the architectural representation witnessed difficulties specifically in design studios. To evolve the studio setting, the article suggests a mixed modality model supporting the social dimension of studio teaching by combining on-site and online learning activities to enrich the learning process. Such a model can harmonize the intended learning objectives and activities with the teaching methods and modality, thus improving the social dimension of studio teaching.

“Free-choice” learners are people who learn outside of a formal learning environment. The video platform YouTube is a popular place for free-choice learners to educate themselves. The author of this article produced a YouTube channel with fifty-one videos on city planning topics to determine how many free-choice learners could be taught on the platform. Millions of viewers, most with no prior formal educational experience with city planning, watched the videos over a two-and-a-half year pilot study. YouTube can be a powerful tool for education beyond the classroom, but the platform’s recommendation algorithm poses challenges to reaching all demographic groups.
