Clark Quinn mentioned The Meta-Learning Lab during #lrnchat today and it brought back a rush of memories. 14 years ago, Clark and I, along with Claudia Welss and Claudia L’Amoreaux, founded the Meta-Learning Lab. We were ahead of our time. Our foundation beliefs were that… Everyone has the capacity to learn but most people can do a much better job of it.
