What is ACAdemic?

ActiveLearners may, by design, cognitively influence the learning process.

The notion of an active learning environment draws on, among others, experiential learning, active learning, constructivism, and constructionism and is based on work by John Dewey, Jean Piaget and David Kolb.

CollaborativeLearners are interdependent and reciprocally influence learning activities and outcomes.

Theory and practice relevant to collaborative learning includes but is not limited to social constructivism, connectivism, learning communities and communities of practice and other work by Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, Jean Lave & Etienne Wenger and George Siemens & Stephen Downes.

AuthenticLearners exhibit knowledge or perform a skill in a naturally occurring environment as possible.

In addition to constructionism, defined by Seymour Papert, many of the theories underpinning active learning also suggest the desirability of Authentic learning.
