Relevancy

Authentic learning and assessments need to be relevant to location, time, and industry. In the context of decolonizing education, place-based learning refers to an approach that centers on the local community and environmental needs, the time, and the industry specific details as the foundation for learning. This method emphasizes the importance of learners’ connection to their specific program and future career.

Relevant learning encourages students to see their education as part of a broader, ongoing relationship with the world around them.
