Connected Learning and Libraries: At the Intersection of the Arts, Media, New Technologies, and Informal Learning

Connected Learning is the progressive educational approach intended for our continuously changing world. It makes learning relevant to all populations, to real life, real work and realities of the modern digital age, where learning should never stop. Connected learning guides learners to experiment, be hands-on, to be active and take ownership of their learning; recognizing that this is key to being successful in work and in life.
