Transcript – May 11, 2017: The Reluctant Learner

#lrnchat is an online chat over the social messaging service Twitter. It is held on Thursdays at 8:30-9:30pm ET/5:30-6:30pm PT. Participants are people interested in the topic of learning from one another and who want to discuss how to help other people learn in formal, informal, social and mobile ways. We aim to steer clear of topics that are more “training department” oriented and focus on how people learn, what they learn, and what we’re learning.  If you an idea for a topic that you would like to suggest for #lrnchat, please feel free to reach out to any of the Chat Hosts.

This Week’s Questions

  • How does the reluctant learner disrupt learning?
  • What are some of the factors which distract learners from being fully engaged?
  • What are some risks associated with giving the learner a “sufficient level of control” when prompting engagement?
  • How can you make your own excitement for learning more contagious to others?
  • As a learner what do you do when you need to recharge or re-engage during a learning effort?
