From China to Chattanooga, online learning students around the world collaborate in University of Minnesota's adventure learning series
The University of Minnesota, in collaboration with NOMADS Adventure & Education, announced on Monday the launch of the 2008 GoNorth! adventure learning expedition. The third in the five-year adventure online learning series, this year's live program will take Team GoNorth! on a 1000-mile, 14-week scientific and cultural voyage traversing the Arctic's most developed region: Fennoscandia, the Arctic regions of Sweden, Norway, and Finland. The free K-12 education program began on Feb. 10, 2008.... "It is an incredibly diverse online learning community, learning not only from the curriculum and topic experts, but maybe most importantly learning from each other in the many collaborative opportunities within the online learning environment," said series education director Aaron Doering, an associate professor of Learning Technologies in the University of Minnesota's College of Education and Human Development and a pioneer in the educational theory of adventure learning. Throughout his time on the expedition, Doering will collect and distribute video of interviews and research via satellite.
