ABSTRACT
In Chapter 2 we argued that a learning culture is a way in which a learning site can be understood, as the social practices through which people learn. We also said that the elements of a learning culture are not invented, as it were, on the spot, but have enduring features: some of the more obvious ones would be buildings, physical spaces and textbooks, but there are many other equally important elements that are harder to see, such as sets of expectations about what kinds of learning are held to be worthwhile.
