Connected learning, as noted by Ito
et al. (2013), “is an approach to
addressing inequity in education in

(p.1) I think, Coursera, aiming to
provide everyone in the world with a
world-class education, aptly
exemplifies this approach.

Exploring Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas
in particular, integrates these three
spheres of connected learning: peer
culture, interests, and academic
content.
