FOCUS: Active process of the learner

Teemu Ylikoski at InnoOmnia

Learning is a process of meaning making,not of knowledge transmission

The very nature of the meaning making processis social and dialogic

Meanings exist in our minds and between us

Knowledge and cognitive activity is distributedamong our culture and mediated by our tools
