Learner Community
For users of Greenfoot, a community site called the Greenfoot Gallery provides a platform to publish and discuss their projects. Anyone can set up an account on the Greenfoot Gallery and publish their work. When published, scenarios run live in a web browser, and are instantly playable by anyone worldwide. The ability to easily publish programming projects to the internet is seen as a significant motivator for young learners.

Famous quotes containing the words learner and/or community:
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“... no community where more than one-half of the adults are disfranchised and otherwise incapacitated by law and custom, can be free from great vices. Purity is inconsistent with slavery.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
