Big problems in
immersive learning research
How can we evaluate outcomes,
without the means to determine if
the instructional approaches and
contexts are comparable? How can we make
informed decisions,
without awareness of
what works and doesn’t?

Thus… Cognitive Ecosystems & Ecological Platforms
“The logic of education as being solely about humans gives
way to a logic of interconnection, interaction, and
interdependence among different entities, among different
intelligences.”
“The logic of education as being solely about humans gives
way to a logic of interconnection, interaction, and
interdependence among different entities, among different
intelligences.”
“Ecological Interaction Platforms will have to favor the
active participation of entities in a context where the human
being, connected to intelligences and various entities, is a
co-producer, a co-interpreter. A context where all entities
inhabit the cognitive ecosystem, where knowledge emerges
from the whole, in an atopic way, not from specific parts.”
