Learning express has selected videos on learning, leadership, change and career development
Hi welcome to learning express where we carefully select themed videos, that include the topics we cover here at leopard-learning.
We carefully chose these videos to make sure they either: 1. encapsulate nicely some of the concepts 2. offer a different or complementary perspective 3. or just simply entertain us.
Enjoy.
Learning Styles
For our first learning express video we have Professor Daniel Willingham (psychologist, neuroscientist, from the University of Virginia)describes research showing that learning styles are a myth. He is specifically talking about Flemmings Vark Model. You do remember that don't you? you know? auditory, visual and kinasthetic learning styles etc...ah well
you can remind yourself here if you need to
Informal Learning
Ok this is quite an interesting video on the characteristics and benefits of informal as opposed to formal learning. Jay Ross answers questions on informal learning. Is it real? Does it benefit small companies? How does it relate to the web? Don't be put off by the filming there is food for thought in here.
Back to the learning organization
Change Management: A sense of urgency.
The might change guru John Kotter(from Harvard)on the importance of a sense of urgency in these changing times, for both organisations and managers. By a sense of urgency, Kotter means, it is about focus, determination and action not just "busyness".
A short video about the different intelligences Gardner has indicated exist. For more information, check out a range of information on learning styles on this website . NOTE: YOU *ARE* ALLOWED TO USE THIS VIDEO FOR PRESENTATIONS...
This is one of my first home-made videos on the subject of stress management concepts. Research is showing that our levels of anxiety have a profound impact on the learning process and I am not necessarily talking about acute or chronic stress. For many of us the learning process with its ambiguity and fear of failure is a real source of stress in itself. I really like to share the conscious competence model with learners to help them understand how they might better need to manager their anxiety in the learning process.
