Posted on February 6, 2020 by Lisa-Marie Teubler

Before wecan start to think about course design for online environments, I feel that it is vital to have a definition of what we want to achieve: What is a successful learning situation? How can success be defined in connection to learning? In defining this for myself, David Wiley’s TED talk from the 6th of … Continue reading “What is success in learning?”
