The 43rd Annual National Conference of Adult Learning Australia
27-30 November, 2003
University of Technology (UTS), Sydney
Learning in community is generally characterised as emphasising the social as opposed to the individual. Teachers and learners are considered as social actors with identities emerging from their wider social experiences. The processes and content of learning are seen as intertwined and firmly situated in the social context.
The terms used to describe the phenomenon of groups of individuals learning together include learning communities and communities of practice. These terms are being more and more used across the field of adult learning. This conference will examine these issues. Be part of that process.
