Why not some new buzz phrases!

I like this definition:

"What is authentic learning? It occurs when students experience a need to
know-a desire to find out the answers to questions they've come up with, or
how to do something-and are then given the opportunity to satisfy that need.
That's authentic learning, based on theorising, researching, testing and
reflecting. It's what we are all doing every day of our lives."

> Authentic learning style is where the student undertakes actual projects
in their environment. This allows the student to easily adapt and link their
skills to a real world scenario. Seems to be a buzz phrase at the moment.
Just like to drop it in here and there.
