We have been building a learning platform to drive two Intel-funded projects: one focused on powering up the promise of digital learning for teachers, and the second focused on unlocking future possibilities through digital learning for woman and girls in Africa. Driving the platform build is the assumption that learning is anchored by research-grounded best practices found in effective impact-focused, inquiry-based, game-infused and community-enabled blended learning environments … designed to create engaged and purposeful learners who work individually and collaboratively on projects that are personally relevant and socially significant with the goal of helping ALL individuals thrive in a rapidly changing, digitally connected world.
