Sumario:<p id="p1">In this chapter, the necessity of broadening the concept of education through a lifelong learning lens is emphasized, proposing a new, learner-centric theoretical framework for educational spaces. This shift requires a fundamental reevaluation of the relationship between education and learning, prompting a significant transformation in modern educational thinking. Primarily, it is proposed that the learner&rsquo;s world comprises five layers: absence of learning, unintentional learning as a result, intentional learning activities, receiving education, and being taught. Secondly, in a highly networked society&rsquo;s lifelong learning context, a comprehensive framework should be derived spatiotemporally, encompassing four types: Here-Now, Here-Anytime, Anywhere-Now, and Anywhere-Anytime. Corresponding teaching spaces are thus categorized as the Classroom Gathering Model, On-Site Learning Model, Live Broadcasting Model, and Message-Leaving Model. Contrasting &ldquo;Stage Teacher&rdquo; with &ldquo;Studio Teacher,&rdquo; four teaching styles emerge: Stage Actor, Tour Guide, Announcer, and Film Actor. The potential for instructional concepts to coexist in hybrid forms is best considered using the attributes of Here-Now, Online-Now, and On-Demand. Thirdly, the advent of metaverse spaces powered by virtual reality technology has created novel learning environments. Within the Another-Here Now and Another-Here Anytime types, learners can engage in learning activities, receive education, and participate in self-expression and interaction.</p>
