Learning as a multimodal system Flashcards
What is Country?
Country refers to the living system of all entities that exist in the universe.
People are a part of Country and are embedded in relationships with more-than-human entities such as animals, plants, geographical features, waterways, seasons, tides, weather, skies and celestial bodies.
Country is a Multi-modal system because each of these entities has its own way of knowing and being known.
