To engage students in blended learning environments

Posted on May 3, 2021 by Janne Nyström

Posted on April 28, 2021 by Sarada Bulchand

Learning in a community of practice

Posted on April 16, 2021 by Janne Nyström

Learning through communities can happen, albeit not exclusively, in a learning environment. I say not exclusively, because I have experience of community-based learning, when the learning part was not the goal itself, but something that came along the way.
