== SOLE== SOLE Self Organised Learning Environment refers to the adaptation of a school space to facilitate Enquiry Based Learning. A teacher encourages their class to work as a community to answer questions using computers with internet access. The class work around a guiding set of rules: *   Students need to form groups of about 4 *    Children choose their own groups *    They can change groups at any time *    Children can look to see what other groups are doing and take that information back to their own group *    They should be ready to present their answers back to the class at the end of the session
