Crash course in learning theory « If pets could design user experiences... | Main | Crash Course in Learning Summary » Crash course in learning theory One formula (of many) for a successful blog is to create a "learning blog". A blog that shares what you know, to help others. Even--or especially--if that means giving away your "secrets". It's what I try to do here because--let's face it--you're just not that into me ; ) But I assume (since you're reading this blog) that you ARE into helping your users kick ass. So, as promised in an earlier post, here's a crash course on some of our favorite learning techniques gleaned from cognitive science, learning theory, neuroscience, psychology, and entertainment (including game design).

Learning to Learn home page "Since we cannot know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned." John Holt The Campaign defines 'learning to learn' as a process of discovery about learning. In brief, 'learning to learn' offers pupils an awareness of: how they prefer to learn and their learning strengths how they can motivate themselves and have the self-confidence to succeed things they should consider such as the importance of water, nutrition, sleep and a positive environment for learning some of the specific strategies they can use, for example to improve their memory or make sense of complex information some of the habits they should develop, such as reflecting on their learning so as to improve next time .
