At the end of the We.Learn.It workshop, participants are expected to
be familiar with the the we.learn.it initiative and Learning Expedition
concept. Participants will also learn how to develop learning expeditions.
The workshop aims to introduce a new and innovative way of teaching
and learning to participants. In addition, participants will learn how
to employ experiential, collaborative, and use ICT based learning
techniques or tools. It is expected that participants will be able to
determine the applicability of the Learning Expedition pedagogical
concept within their respective schools and the education sector in South
Africa.

Discuss about the transferability of the Learning Expedition approach
to South Africa education system in terms of conceptual and practical/

schooling contexts?)
Assess the need and modify the evaluation approach to measure
and evaluate impact in South Africa schooling contexts e.g. could the
participants rely on the same type of data and data collection strategies
proposed for the evaluation of Learning Expeditions in the workshop to
South Africa (in terms of the framework/instruments/methods)
