==1.1. Why e-learning for sustainable development in the first place?== | |||
Problems of sustainable development are typically complex and perspectives on the nature and solution of these problems are likely to vary with national, cultural and disciplinary backgrounds. Trans-boundary competence, the ability to communicate and collaborate across the boundaries of a nation, culture and discipline, is therefore an essential competence for sustainable development. Thus, virtual collaborative learning is an excellent learning environment to develop such trans-boundary abilities, as the participants experience differences in perspective in a very direct way and have to come to a joint solution of the problem. | Problems of sustainable development are typically complex and perspectives on the nature and solution of these problems are likely to vary with national, cultural and disciplinary backgrounds.
