As a result of Methodical-Didactic Lab II: Building Communities for Emergent Learning, participants will:

  • Refine their ability to use their own educational practice as an opportunity for action-based reflection, inquiry and research;
  • Discover how the principles of individual emergent, biographically anchored learning and the building of learning communities complement and support each other;
  • Find ways of including these principles in their instructional design process in a way that enhances their educational practice;
  • Engage peers and students as partners in developing their educational practice;
  • Identify new questions and goals for the further evolution of their own educational practice;
  • Discover new educational perspectives, instructional design ideas and methodical-didactic possibilities through collegial exchange;
  • Develop ways and methods of working with peer feedback and collaborative peer-based processes that can be implemented with colleagues in their own organization.
