47. Students as producers
• learning has more meaningful when you can shape in some kind of
production
Networking helps to put forward different points of views
To work with others and having to explain their ideas, students become
aware of one's point of view.
One of the key aspects of the pedagogical model 2.0 is a broadening of the
possibilities for students to develop, share and publish their own content.
2.0 The methodology enhances the possibilities to create, produce and
share knowledge.
Students can move from a passive role as consumer to an active role as
a producer (interest, compromise)
