Authentic Learning

"Authentic learning is real life learning. It is a style of learning that encourages students to create a tangible, useful product to be shared with their world".
 * Authentic learning is centered on authentic, relevant, real-world tasks that are of interest to the learners.
 * Students are actively engaged in exploration and inquiry.
 * Learning, most often, is interdisciplinary. It requires integration of content from several disciplines and leads to outcomes beyond the domain-specific learning outcomes.
 * Learning is closely connected to the world beyond the walls of the classroom.
 * Students become engaged in complex tasks and higher-order thinking skills, such as analyzing, synthesizing, designing, manipulating, and evaluating information.
