Types of communication, delivery, and philosophy and theory are decisions made by the individual teacher but within the learning community/culture of the institution, home, and local society. Context also is based on the resources available:
- Time
- Technology
- Materials
- Knowledge/understandings
How do philosophy and theory, delivery, and communication come together in such a way that learning outcomes are achievable?
