Abstract

Educators, as designers of learning, first create a template environment, which is a space where learning is more likely to occur, and then guide students through a "nomadic journey" in pursuit of an overall learning objective. To this end, educators benefit from reflecting on an educational philosophy, the type of communication used in the classroom, and the way collective information is delivered, considering appropriate web tools or information and communication technologies (ICT) that can be employed.
