How do you systematically design learning experiences that effectively engage the learner?
Interesting parallel between education and engagement. Interesting because, while you can't do education without engagement, the list of items under 'engagement' are very different than those under 'education'. But you know (he says as an aside) I become less and less certain that you want to "design learning experiences" - it's one thing to design useful resources, and that's OK, but really I think that people ought to be designing their own learning experiences. How else will they be able to find learning in the more general run of experiences in life? Clark Quinn, Learnlets, November 9, 2009. [Link] [Tags: Experience] [Previous][Next]Comments

Yes, we can enrich students' learning opportunities. To the extent we try to design what happens to learners or to their learning we tend to rob them of their agency. [Comment] [Permalink] [Previous][Next]
