Why did you create this innovation?

Teachers play crucial roles in transforming any education system and creating long-lasting impacts on generations. However, to enhance teachers’ competencies, there are tons of struggles such as limited time, financial resources, and qualified professional development activities. The Co-learning project constructs a community of 23,000 teachers who transform themselves every day as learners.

How does your innovation work in practice?

We provide a MOOCs platform with 35 courses under three pillars: How to learn, How to teach, and How to design (curriculum and lesson).

We built communities of learning to enhance teachers’ learning activities, including a website of open educational sources, Facebook groups, and local learning communities, with the support of 84 teacher ambassadors across Vietnam, and 108 volunteers across the globe.

Teachers are able to access scientific knowledge all over the world translated into Vietnamese. At any time, teachers can study with just one electronic device such as a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Since then, forming daily learning habits for teachers. We aim to eliminate all limitations on time, geography, and costs for the teachers and accompany them on the path of developing a sustainable education.
