competition	Stage 1 - 4	classroom training, e-, blended-, social- learning

“a collaboratory is more than an elaborate collection of information and communications technologies; it is a new networked organizational form that also includes social processes; collaboration techniques; formal and informal communication; and agreement on norms, principles, values, and rules”

This riff on collaboratory is co-(i)nspired by Venessa Miemis: Blueseed Project: A Floating Superhero School & Collaboratory.
