I would like to advocate for us to introduce a completely new (*) kind of learning: Human learning.
A form of learning that always remains in version 1.0, and never gets “marketing-pressured” into 2.0.
A form of learning that is not gamified or virtual, or polluted with other buzzwords .
A form of learning that does not focus on the medium, method or teacher, but focuses on the recipient learning something.
A form of learning that is genuinely interested in the recipient, and not just in putting a check mark in a spreadsheet.
A form of learning that tells stories.
A form of learning that is relevant to the recipient.
A form of learning that treats the recipients of learning as independent, thinking individuals, and therefore does not resort to coercion, punishment or reward.
A form of learning that does not mindlessly repeat facts, but focuses on giving the recipients knowledge that they can use for something.
A form of learning that is based on the fact that people want to learn if what they need to learn is relevant and presented properly.
A form of learning that treats people as people.
(*) There is nothing new about human learning; this is how we humans have learned best for 200,000 years.
