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:
“The learner always begins by finding fault, but the scholar sees the positive merit in everything.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
