Methodology Each Team framed questions to in order to develop an understanding of their students and their students needs and learning styles. They then designed learning experiences (lesson plans) for their learners. Once the learning experience was concluded, reserachers reflected upon the process - what their learners' experiences were; how well it met their learners' needs and expectations, what they as teachers learned in preparing for and managing the learning experience.

The Teams have met to share their experiences and distil the key findings. Conclusions are drawn by each Team in order to highlight the specificity of each environment.
