Spatial thinking spans numerous disciplines and perspectives, so there is a need for courses to address spatial thinking from multiple perspectives. However, developing online and/or blended courses that effectively teach spatial thinking topics can be particularly challenging.

This workshop aims to assist educators with developing interdisciplinary courses on spatial thinking in the following ways:

• Lightning Talks: Workshop participants will provide their perspectives on teaching spatial thinking from their discipline’s perspective in 5-minute lightning talks. See call details below.
• Group Discussions: Workshop participants will be broken into smaller groups for break-out group discussions, following the lightning talks. These break-out group discussions will be designed to foster discussions between individuals with differing perspectives. These discussions, along with a final large group discussion at the end of the workshop, will allow workshop attendees to learn more about discipline(s) that they are unfamiliar with, and to share educational resources from their own discipline(s).
• Online Learning Platform: After the workshop, the online learning platform will continue to be made available to workshop participants. This will allow for participants-and the whole spatial cognition community and beyond-to make use of the learning materials in their own blended learning courses.
