Week 3 - Get Personal- What are your ideal conditions for learning? [March 5, 2012, 2:49 p.m.]


How personalized is your personal learning plan? 

I'm stealing a couple of prompts from Clark Quinn's work with the Change11 MOOC this year. He makes the point in his blog post that formal learning structures often don't fit the way we learn best. So, as we pursue empowered learning, let's think about what our ideal conditions for learning might be. Quinn asks: 

"What would your ideal learning situation be?"  

"How would you construct an optimal performance environment for yourself? What would it look like?" 

I encourage you to explore this from a personal, reflective place. Try to remove all educational jargon from your answer. No theory allowed. It might help if you think about learning and performance outside of school or the workplace. Answer both prompts however you like- be creative,or don't-  try to include your reasoning and how you know what is best for you.
