Description
This paper applies a biomimetic design approach education systems. Learning functions are translated into biological terms. Living systems inspire solutions by considering educational design problems from biological perspectives, revealing new strategies. Biological functions, structures and design patterns are abstracted and applied to learning environments. Bio-inspired solutions are evaluated against Life’s Principles (Biomimicry 3.8).12,13 As a next step, tools for adapting the bio-inspired education framework are provided.
