Description

A digital platform led by Nichole Pinkard with NSF support that aggregates, maps, and describes youth learning resources across cities and connects learners with opportunities, badges, routes, and community members.

Components

  • Cities of Learning digital platform: Cities of Learning (CoL), led by Nichole Pinkard with NSF support, is a digital platform promoting the idea that learning and teaching occur everywhere in a city. The report states "CoL provides a digital platform that aggregates, maps, and describes the learning resources available to young people in a given city (such as Chicago, Dallas, and Pittsburgh)." It tracks pathways young people take between locations, alerts them and invested adults about other learning opportunities along a route, motivates students with badges, and promotes intergenerational learning by connecting youth with adult community members to discuss local issues. (Roschelle et al. (2017))
