Sustaining a Learning Community Approach to Foster Digital Age Competencies: A Study of Process, Outcomes, and Infrastructures

Abstract

The digital age has drastically changed many aspects of human life, with significant implications on education. Transforming school structures so they can foster digital age competencies sustainably is a grand challenge for educational systems and research. Learning community pedagogies provide a potent way to approach this challenge. We present a large, multi-year study that is supported by the national department of education that attends to the learning processes, outcomes, and infrastructures necessary to do this.
