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)
