Module overview

Society often sees school as the sole site of learning. Yet people learn from a variety of sources, in a variety of places and for various reasons. The reality is that a great deal of learning takes place in the social and cultural contexts that are offered outside school - informal settings, such as museums, social media, traditional media, hobbies, friends, family and many more. This module will focus on the learning that happens in these contexts.

The module takes a hands-on-approach to understanding how to design learning activities for such environments.
