Digital Garden

Agency and mastery are not proven by grades in Colearning, but witnessed through visibility ("Show your work"). We cultivate a "Digital Garden" as a portfolio for this (e.g., with a π± Lilo Page).
In the digital garden, thoughts and projects develop, are linked and revised. This "garden" is public. It serves as external storage for one's own journey through life and learning β more valuable than any formal paper certificate.
Traditional certificates often say little about the actual path to a solution. The "Digital Garden" makes this process visible and offers valuable orientation in a technological world to authentically show one's own creative power and personality. Furthermore, making visible promotes relationships, connection points, and collaboration in the community ("seeing and being perceived").
