A scholar and researcher called Sugata Mitra worked on a project called Self-Organised
Learning Environments (SOLEs) and on the School in The Cloud. The basic idea for
SOLEs, is for the learners to work in a group of four (they choose their groups) on a
single complex question. Each group needs an internet-enabled laptop to do the work.
The groups are given a question such as “Why do we slip on wet surfaces?” or “Do
trees breathe?” The learners are asked to give a presentation as a report back after a
given time. Other than the instruction and the computers, they are largely left to answer
the question on their own. The following PDF contains more information on what a
SOLE is and how it can become a reality in classrooms: You can also watch the
following video:
1. Critically analyse this type of teaching, learning and curriculum. Include the following
as part of your analysis: - Briefly summarise the main aspects of SOLE activities. (40)
- Provide both advantages and disadvantages (strengths and weaknesses) of the SOLE
activities. Include both teachers and learners in your discussion. (40)
- At the end of your analysis, provide a recommendation for adjusting this type of activity
to suit your school or subject (10)
- Clarity, organisation, use of sources (10)
