The web-based materials produced by SosuMedia are always reflected in those learning processes inwhich the participants develop their professional and personal competences and especially theirmotivation, curiosity and learning desire.

We have now more and more a special focus on learners with low educationalbackground.

The media and learning philosophy of sosuMedia

Our media and learning philosophy is very much based on an interpretation and adaption of the media pedagogics developed by the MIT Media Lab in Boston and implemented in the global youth project Computer Clubhouse Network.

This media pedagogics is based on a radical expansion of the constructivist approach adding to this an important and very practical design and communication process.The media and learning philosophy of sosuMedia

Principle 1: Support Learning Through Design Experiences

Principle 2: Help Members Build on Their Own Interests

Principle 3: Cultivate an Emergent Community of Learners

Principle 4: Create an Environment of Respect and Trust

In many ways we are very much inspired by the Computer Clubhouse philosophy (MIT lab Boston).

The future

To produce visual material:

If a person or a group of persons are supported to make a visual storytelling about themselves their self understanding, their believe, their dreams and perhaps about their attitude to own health and health understanding

It creates a huge self-reflection when the see the see and hear them self during the production process towards the final result.
