Methopedia is a wiki created by the Comble project that allows users to share and learn about pedagogical approaches and learning activities that foster collaborative and deep learning. The wiki contains descriptions of approaches like problem-based learning and constructivism as well as examples of learning activities, resources, and course designs. Methopedia's goal is to help facilitators encourage elaborated, reflective, and participative learning through approaches focused on learner-centered guidance, group work, and inquiry-based learning.
