Agile4 Collaboration
Agile learning, rooted in Agile Management principles, originated in a New York-based self-directed learning school, the Agile Learning Centre (ALC), eight years ago. Since its inception in 2013, ALC's approach gained global recognition, evolving into the Agile Learning Centres Network. Described as restoring the joy of learning, ALCs embrace intentional culture supporting self-directed learning, reinforced by agile management tools.
Project impact
The Agile4Collaboration project aims to create a profound impact in education. It seeks to revolutionize learning methodologies by introducing Agile Learning, a method that harmonizes with how individuals naturally learn, fostering interactive and self-directed learning experiences. Furthermore, the project focuses on empowering educators by providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge to seamlessly implement agile learning methods, thereby enriching students' educational paths. Additionally, there's a concerted effort to promote collaborative learning through the cultivation of a vibrant online community. This community serves as a platform for continuous improvement and sharing of agile learning practices, fostering professional growth and collective expertise among education professionals.
