A collection of interviews, photographs, essays and personal reflections, Khairat Kita is a project documenting the last few remaining Malay/Muslim Mutual Benefit Organisations (MMBOs) providing aid and charity to their deceased members' families. Known as badan khairat kematian, they are volunteer, community-led initiatives based on a centuries-old tradition of mutual aid. Khairat kematian organisations are social anchors in the community and custodians of intangible cultural heritage in Singapore’s Malay/Muslim community. With around 20 such organisations left, declining membership and ageing committee members, the future looks uncertain for these MMBOs.

Lernen und Lehren befinden sich in einem tiefgreifenden Wandel. Lernende benötigen kaum mehr als ein mobiles Gerät mit Online-Zugang, um zeit- und ortsunabhängig auf weltweit verfügbare Lehr-Lernmaterialien zugreifen zu können. Lernressourcen sind von überall abrufbar und das gemeinschaftliche Lernen ist dank Online-Kooperationstools und -Plattformen einfacher denn je. Der Transfer von einer Situation, in der Lernen stattfindet, auf mögliche Anwendungsfelder oder darauf aufbauende Bildungsabschnitte, ist jedoch nicht immer frei von Hürden. Das Konzept des Seamless Learning reagiert hierauf und unterstützt kontextübergreifendes Lernen, indem es einen Rahmen bietet, um die technologischen und didaktischen Herausforderungen diverser Bildungskontexte zu bewältigen und ein lebenslanges, nahtloses Lernen zu ermöglichen. Die Beiträge dieses Tagungsbandes diskutieren das Thema „Seamless Learning“ aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und geben einen Überblick zum aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Diskurs sowie zu praktischen Erfahrungen an verschiedenen Bildungsinstitutionen.
