The model is concerned with social relationships and development of a confident integrated learner. EDU 2022 course purposes and topics as well as the laboratory setting assume that students will make discoveries, teach each other, and share knowledge and skills to increase the quality and quantity of class learning and to better meet the challenge of rapidly developing technology.
