Quinnsights: Get Ready for Learning Engineering | LS
- And the recurrent prevalence of myths in learning indicates that science still doesn’t rule our practices.
- While cognitive awareness has moved to incorporate perspectives like situated, distributed, and social cognition, our practices in learning still largely come back to spaced, varied, and deliberate practice.
- Following that thinking learning engineering should just mean “applied learning science,” however a new initiative is pushing this further.
- Its definition is “merging engineering and systems thinking with learning science and theories of human development.” And this is a valuable perspective.
- The focus is on applying learning science to new technologies. There is certainly room for improvement in existing technologies as well, such as learning management systems, authoring tools, mobile learning, simulations, and more
- There’s also a fair bit of ground to cover. When you take a full ecosystem perspective, you are looking at formal learning, performance support, and social and informal learning.
- Similarly, the wide variety of technologies includes associated processes like software engineering, usability, and project management. Also, awareness of the contexts of application—K-12 and higher education, organizations, as well as “none-of-the-above”—would be required.
- The inclusion of systems thinking is also important. Full solutions include an environmental scan outward from the core experience to the legal, social, and other implications.
- You could look at design thinking here, as well.
- To create a true user-centric learning and performance environment, a successful integration of the skills suggested would be necessary, including knowledge of the domains and of process.
- Most of these new initiatives are integrations of new technology to learning. Thus, these efforts require a skillset composed of technology awareness, learning science comprehension, the ability to envision the integration, and the ability to execute against that vision
- While not everyone needs every skill, someone has to oversee the integration, and it helps when there’s a shared understanding of the overall picture
