Project Overview
Learning Creative Learning is an open online course and community for educators around the world to explore the idea of Creative Learning through working on projects, interacting with peers, and trying out their ideas in real-world environments. We examined a number of design decisions (such as multilingual community support) to provide a creative learning space for educators even when they were physically apart from one another, coming from linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds.
