How can informal learning sites provide optimal learning experiences without placing demands on teachers? This session will move beyond familiar conversations about how to encourage/force/support teachers toward desired behaviours. Instead, presenters from different countries will offer local contexts and approaches to supporting learning for well-prepared as well as unprepared student groups.Small group round-table discussions will follow which will challenge participants to think of creative ways to address constraints facing teachers. The desired result is a robust learning experience for students. Participants will vote for the most creative and practical ideas.
