, 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)
