Dean Shareski and some of his students are trying to learn things and documenting the results. His guitar lessons are interesting, but I quite like his students' non-traditional learning:

• Cole...learning Japanese
• Nicole...learning crochet
• Hillary...learning meditation
• Edgar...learning Assassin's Creed
• Courtney...learning to draw

It's interesting that it doesn't matter what they are learning - by documenting their progress, they are not only improving their learning, they are - over time - learning how to learn. And I like what Shareski is doing, modelling the process, and not just talking about it.
