Knowledge, Learning, Community

I think there is in general a lot to recommend this approach. The article describes learning ecosystem projects in the  Pittsburgh region through CMU. The ecosystem concept "doesn't come with specific prescriptions about which types of organizations should be involved or how collaborative learning should unfold. It's a flexible approach that can develop in unique and authentic ways in any community... there are huge benefits to breaking down the silos that have long separated formal education from the rest of daily life. As resources are shared and people from a range of organizations collaborate, opportunities for students multiply."
