Crossover Learning
An effective method is for a teacher to propose and discuss a question in the classroom, then for learners to
explore that question on a museum visit or field trip, collecting photos or notes as evidence, then share
their findings back in the class to produce individual or group answers. These crossover learning
experiences exploit the strengths of both environments and provide learners with authentic and engaging
opportunities for learning. Since learning occurs over a lifetime, drawing on experiences across multiple
settings, the wider opportunity is to support learners in recording, linking, recalling and sharing their
diverse learning events.
