Telecollaboration training fosters e-learning in schools in the ASEAN Region

Blog posting by Ray Schroeder on 26 October 2005:

As part of the UNESCO “Strengthening ICT in Schools and SchoolNet in ASEAN Setting” project, a training session was recently provided for teachers which aimed to assist them in learning to facilitate telecollaboration (sharing knowledge through the internet) with their students, and how this enhances teaching and learning. The telecollaboration activities that are undertaken as part of the above-mentioned project are referred to under the broad title of “ASEAN Bridges of Learning”. During their training, teachers learned to use “Learning Circles”, an e-learning activity which brings together teachers and students over the internet to collaborate on investigative activities, involving the sharing of information and experiences. The “Learning Circles” concept was developed by Margaret Riel (http://gsep.pepperdine.edu/~mriel/office).
