Summary of Julie Dirksen's Design for How People Learn

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Learning experiences are like journeys. The journey starts where the learner is now, and ends when the learner is successful, however that is defined. The end of the journey isn’t just about knowing more, but also doing more.

#2 There are gaps between your learner’s current situation and where they need to be in order to be successful. These gaps are between what they know and what they need to know. You can help them bridge these gaps by designing better learning experiences.

#3 The gap between what your learners have and what they need is information. You want your learners to have the right supplies for their journey, but you also want them to know what to do with that information.

#4 The only way to prepare for a major hike is to hike regularly, and even a less ambitious goal would require practice and conditioning. Learners in all disciplines are frequently in this situation. They receive the knowledge in a book or class, but don't get the opportunity to practice and develop skills.
