Content:

• Distance education from A to Z: a quick glance from the educational design to the learning assessment

Focus on innovative pedagogies

The Trialogical Learning Approach aims at developing pedagogical models and tools for organizing learners' activities around shared objects of activity (like texts, conceptual artefacts or practices) that are created for some meaningful purpose or reason. In this way, it focuses on both individual and social processes, conceptual knowledge and social practices, needed to foster collaborative creativity. This model was developed within the Knowledge-Practices laboratory by Kai Hakkarainen and Sami Paavola.
