Learning is social, collaborative, and synergistic. Good learners gather and synthesize information from a variety of sources.
People are motivated to learn when it is relevant, when there is an authentic problem to solve, when they are self-directed and have choice in what and how to learn, when they receive personalized instruction, and when they receive timely informative feedback on their progress.
Learning is solidified when people synthesize what they have gathered, create something unique with it, apply it to a new context or problem to solve, integrate it with prior knowledge, and teach others what they have learned.
I craft environments and experiences that utilize these elements to encourage learning that makes an impact.
My views on teaching and learning have been impacted by Gong theory, agency theory, social constructivism, anchored instruction, problem-based learning, and assessment theory.
