S4 E10: Bringing Learning Science to Life

Tessa Forshaw, co-founder of Harvard University’s Next Level Lab joins the show to discuss how to bring learning sciences to life. This is a goal of the Next Level Lab, specifically in workforce development and workforce career readiness. Tessa shares five focus areas and we dive into each including transfer, adaptive expertise, intelligence augmentation, agency, and disposition. We also discuss challenges in reskilling and learning in relation to emotional states, including during stressful times when you experience an amygdala hijack.

LEARNING GEEKS “EXPERIENCE DESIGN WORKSHOP AT DISNEYLAND”
We are seeking interested participants to join us at Disneyland on June 24th for a unique Experience Design Workshop. We would all visit Disneyland, including lands like Galaxy’s Edge, and truly immerse ourselves into the worlds and environments and reflect on how we can apply this in our learning experiences. This would be a trip covered at your expense, so if you’re interested, start booking! Please reach out to Dana, Jake, and/or Bob directly or on LinkedIN for any questions.
