Learners learn well when they take responsibility for their learning

Learners have feelings!

Constructive alignment 1 2

2 - what the teacher does to support learning

--> facilitation (of an environment for learning)

To promote creative and critical

thinking

What to

consider?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/91903883@N00/2385264019
