Topic 3 – Learning in communities – Networked Collaborative Learning

I have been thinking on learning and teaching much lately. Our topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning – is, I must admit, a little bit out of my comfort zone, even if I had good learning experiences using collaborative learning. I believe it is a little bit out of my comfort zoneContinue reading “Topic 3 – Learning in communities – Networked Collaborative Learning”
