The Bridge21 pedagogical model has been used extensively in classroom and informal learning settings as a framework for structuring learning activities which promote the development of key skills and engagement with curriculum content. The model uses ICT to support problem and project based learning with a very strong emphasis on teamwork and collaboration. To-date it has always been used in a face-to-face setting. This presentation will describe how the model was adapted for use in an on-line setting and will report on experiences of its use for teacher professional development, informal learning and in the classroom.
