Along with a steady series of exercises going from recognizing a good media quote, and compiling one, we wanted learners to have to respond live. We couldn’t do that, but we wanted to prepare people to succeed at that as an optional extra next step. How could we do this?

Because I’ve seen, heck I’ve participated in exercises where we collaborate for the greater good. Cooperation means I point to something or give you some feedback, but we’re not necessarily engaged in creation. The question is how to reconcile this. And it occurred to me to pull it apart a bit.

To test that learners have acquired the underpinning knowledge, you can hav them exercising the models in decisions. You may need to also ensure that they know the requisite information, so you may need to determine that, but I think exercising the models in simpler situations helps develop them more than just a presentation.

For health reasons I try to get a walk in, and, ideally, some exercise. There is a torture device exercise machine in my office. I’m too twitchy to typically be able to sit or stand and work for hours, so I regularly am up and about just to move. Snack breaks, or to take out the dog.

Of course, this is a thought exercise, and so I may well have made some interpretations you could disagree with.

Also, as much as it may be hard to struggle to find time and motivation for exercise, you learn to miss it. It seems every time I start taking a serious stab at diet and exercise, something goes wrong! But even an involuntary and undesirably challenging experience still is an experience.

I looked at Harold’s model more deeply after I did this exercise (a meta-learning on it’s own; take your own stab and then see what others have done). An early exercise where you evaluate your own network systematically, for instance, struck me as really insightful. Looking at your processes and evaluating them.

And that, I think, is the benefit of the exercise, a chance to think anew. In my past two posts, I first looked at cognitions (situated, distributed, social) by contexts (think, work, and learn), and then the reverse. And, having filled out the matrixes anew, they weren’t quite the same. So what emerged?

My short take, through this exercise, is to feel confident in both recommendations. On the SeM side, spaced practice is unique to learning. The notion of a game implies the ability for successful practice, so it’s implicit.

And wondering about the locus of responsibility for learning is a valuable exercise. It’s just that when you get disconnects such as these, it’s an opportunity to reflect. Can the locus be the individual and community, not the org or AI? Of course, better yet if we get the synergy between them.

The question is, can we not just illuminate them, but can we ‘exercise’ them. ? We can layer on the conceptual relationships that underpin the things we can observe, so showing flow, causation, forces, constraints, and more. We can illustrate tectonic forces, represent socio-economic data, physical properties, and so on.

She also has practice exercises to help make the material stick. Practicing what she preaches, and using the book itself recursively as an example, she uses simple words and trimmed down prose to focus on what you need to know, and guidance to generalize it.

What that means practically is an exercise I (and we ) are continually working on, but we’ve coalesced on the top-level frameworks to form the basis of tools, and I think what’s needed are some organizations to co-develop the solutions. It will be inherently experimental in an ongoing way.

It’s hard to rein in my enthusiasm for food, but the realities of the slowing metabolism (I hate that) despite exercise mean I’ve got to find ways… Love hearing your strategies! The good news is, it’s increasingly doable, but it also means some diligence.

Of course, developing an accurate course for any topic is a thorough exercise. Which is desirable, but not always pragmatic. While the full rigor of science would go as far as adaptive intelligent tutoring systems, the amount of work to do so can be prohibitive under pragmatic constraints.

For example, I have used taking a shower, exercising, or driving. So I responded with three personal suggestions, and thought I’d share them here, and also think about what the organizational response could be. Individual. So my first suggestion was to find times when the mind is free to roam.

It starts with a laser focus on the objectives, and the important ways people go wrong, and then creating environments where exercising those skills, making just those decisions that learners need to be able to make, are made in a meaningful context. Yes, it requires good design.

Here are my reflections on what happened a bit more, as an exercise in meta-learning. If you follow this blog (and you should :), it was pretty obvious that I was at the FocusOn Learning conference in San Diego last week (previous 2 posts were mindmaps of the keynotes). And it was fun as always.

Naturally, I made a diagram: If we look at our human capabilities, we’re very good pattern matchers, but pretty bad at exercising rote performance. The cited post talked about how design doesn’t recognize the augmented performer, and this is a point I’ve made elsewhere, but I wanted to capture it in a richer representation.

But it’s a pretty low chance, and we have far better exercises to achieve that goal. The teacher apparently is laboring under a delusion that in coloring in some diagram or map, the learner will internalize the spatial relationships and map those to the underlying conceptual relationships.

I think that to do that successfully is a non-trivial exercise, by the way. Microlearning might be some very small thing that can be learned right in the moment, but I reckon those are rare.
