Now with 305 ways to turn learning into a right old performance -

  Moving the design of group learning activities  from afterthought to art form.

At the moment we expect far too much from individuals and far too little from groups.

Work is now underway on how we can allocate time to these challenges and how we can extend our repertoire of response to learning demonstrated beyond the page, the classroom and the timescale of a lesson. Catch up with John Davitt on his 2011 tour in Europe, Australia & USA and learn how to make you own Learning Event Generators tour details here

 
The idea for this list is to collect together a diverse sample of ways in which we can show our learning and understanding in addition to simply writing it down on a page. If you have an idea that you would like to add to the list leave it in the comment section below.
