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)
