7 Principles Of Sustainable Learning: An Agrarian Learning Model. by Terry Heick. This post has been updated and republished. What would the opposite of the industrial learning model–the existing vision of most public education systems worldwide in the 21st century–look like? It seemed to me that it might work something like a farm or garden or other ‘human-designed but nature-based model.’ The big idea of this post is using nature as a standard for learning, but it also

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!
