Reflection on authentic learning elements in a multicultural context

In this table I have reflected the teamwork and peer learning in nine authentic learning elements.

Elements	My reflection
Authentic  context	The virtual multicultural environment and a non-linear design of the real-life setting sets the scene for multicultural teamwork
Authentic activity and tasks	Activities that have real-world relevance and ill-defined activities provide an opportunity for students to work together as a team when planning the work. This work requires some time since this can be a time for building trust, collaboration and a team.
Expert performances	I believe that from a peer work perspective this element is vital. The access to expert thinking and modelling processes, access to learners with various levels of expertise, opportunity for the sharing of narratives and stories and access to the social periphery contains much of learning from and with peers. Very effective way of learning.
Multiple perspectives	In a multicultural team, the different perspectives on the topics from various points of view came quite naturally and it´s possible to have a wider view to the subject.
Collaborative construction of knowledge	Authentic learning encourages to peer learning, when tasks are suggested to complete in pairs or groups rather than individually.
Reflection	Even with reflection, an attention is put to peer learning. Reflection gives an opportunity for learners to examine their thinking and to compare themselves with other learners in varying stages of accomplishment.
Articulation	Also with articulation, the peer learning is present. The opportunities to articulate in groups enable peer learning.
Coaching and Scaffolding	Peer learning or other words collaborative learning is enabled, where more able partners can assist with scaffolding and coaching
Authentic assessment	Peer learning is even assessed when the assessment is seamlessly integrated with the activity and one of the things to be assessed is significant student time and effort used in collaboration with others
