| Summary: | Global movements for the exchange of knowledge and skills such as makerspaces have led to the establishment of networks of local initiatives for learning communities. This paper aims to examine attitudes to the maker movement in the context of higher education during the Covid-19 crisis, as its informal structure, as well as the values that underpin it, can provide a faster and specific response to unpredictable situations. The paper reviews scholarly papers and news items about makerspaces at universities dealing with the higher education response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The results suggest that the study of learning communities' response to the crisis is significant from the perspective of learning how to overcome future crises. Experimenting with approaches using local resources as well as global knowledge and experience, which must be open and accessible, contributes to global initiatives and movements for the exchange, but also the creation of knowledge in communities, promoting community development through educational innovations. |
