What we learned - The Beginner's Guide
by Tracey Mollins
Home page
The Beginners Guide to Learning Circles is a clear language, illustrated book about some of the thing we learned during this project.

We have included a series of activities to use in your own learning circles.

We have divided the book into chapters small enough for easy download no matter what type of internet connection you have. Unfortunately, this means that there are a lot of chapters.

You can see a Quicktime Movie of an introduction created for AlphaRoute learners by clicking here.
