INTRODUCTION
SOLE, or Self-Organized Learning Environment, is an educational approach developed by
Sugata Mitra. It involves allowing students to work in small groups to explore a given
question or topic using the internet and other resources. The key principles of SOLE
include:
Self-organization: Students are encouraged to work together to find answers and
solutions without direct intervention from a teacher.
Use of technology: Students are provided with access to the internet and other
digital resources to conduct their research and find information.
, 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:
