Title
Learning to learn together through planning, discussion and reflection on microworld-based challenges
Abstract
This demonstration will highlight the pedagogy and functionality of the Metafora system as developed by the end of the second year of the EU-funded (ICT-257872) project. The Metafora system expands the teaching focus beyond domain-specific learning to enable the development of 21st century collaborative competencies necessary to learn in today's complex, fast-paced environment. These competencies — termed collectively as "Learning to Learn together" (L2L2) — include: distributed leadership, planning / organizing the learning process, mutual engagement, seeking and providing help amongst peers, and reflection on the learning process. We summarise here the Metafora system, its learning innovation and our plan for the demonstration and interaction session during which participants will be introduced to L2L2 and Metafora through hands-on experience.
