Mission: Encourage life-long learning, promote alternative learning environments and equip you with 21st Century skills.
Mission: Encourage life-long learning, promote alternative learning environments and equip you with 21st Century skills.
The Reinventing School challenge is hands on, encourages discussion of the issues facing learners today and empowers young people, teachers and other members of the community to come up with solutions and share them for all to benefit.
Challenge 1. What does an ideal learning environment look like?
Guiding questions:
- What inspires you to learn?
- What learning innovation have you used to teach or learn?
- How might teachers, parents, and students work in a partnership of learning?
- How might we design the classroom of the future?
Students, teachers and subject matter experts from all over are invited to get involved and collaborate. Form or join a team and research, ideate, design, remix and prototype new possibilities to reinvent the school experience.
The challenge can take place in or out of the school environment and teams can be a diverse mix of students, teachers, parents, business people. Teams can even be made up from people from different locations in the world, in fact we encourage students from Australia to collaborate with classrooms from other places.

-
How long do I have access to the course materials?
You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel. -
Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
