[edit] Appropedia as a pedagogical tool
Appropedia is increasingly being used to improve the pedagogy of service learning [1] [2][3] [4]
Appropedia can be used to:
- integrate sustainability and development studies into language courses [4]
- provide useful content for translation for language courses [4]
- provide a design forum for engineering courses [1]
- coordinate an online course [2] [3]
- encourage collaboration on documents within a course [2][3]
Appropedia can potentially be a valuable learning resource.
