A6c You also learn how to be better at teaching or instructing by doing it. Well, I guess that's true of anything. Strictly speaking you have the opportunity to improve, what you do with that 'learning' is up to you of course... #lrnchat

A7 Call of Duty, Black Ops 4... dang I'm not as good at these games as I remember being #goldeneye! But you can learn about technique pretty quickly, when to stick your head out... and when to run! Good life lessons... #lrnchat

A8 It's all about wanting to learn from your experiences and that's about it. If you're open to it, learning is everywhere, if you're closed it doesn't matter what someone (or something is trying to teach you) #lrnchat

A8b Start with what you know and accept it's more likely than not your opinion and swayed by your own bias... puts you in a great place to learn! #lrnchat

AWrap Missed the beginning, missed the end (quick emergency on a site)... made some of the middle and always good interacting and therapeutically answering the questions... here's me: linkedin.com/in/nigeyoung/ #lrnchat

A1 That you can't learn anything if you're closed to the opportunity in everything... #lrnchat

A2 Learning is a state of mind rather than 'content'. It's about being open and having the right attitude to learn. The 'content' is everywhere and everything... #lrnchat

A2b This one will be controversial... there's no such thing as learned. You're either learning or you're not (holds breath for replies) #lrnchat

A3 I used to be quite planned in my approach to learning, particularly studying. I listen a lot more to my moods and internal flow these days. If I can match my flow with that which I'm trying to learn, we can move pretty fast down stream :) #lrnchat

A4 You either learn or you fall behind. It's not really an option for us in a fast-moving world. Learning should be the default setting... #lrnchat

Youth may be wasted on the young, but wisdom is often wasted on the old. Life experience = opportunity for learning, but it's not automatic.. you have to want to learn... #lrnchat

A5 I suspect it's to do with breadth over depth. Looking at things from a different perspective is a definite part of learning. Learning anything helps an ageing mind (and all our minds are ageing! #lrnchat

I'm outta here lrnchat peeps... good chatting, keep fighting the good fight :) #lrnchat

Organisations need to recognise that failure is actually a requirement, not a luxury, to learn and grow. From #lrnchat discussion earlier today, here's the short article: linkedin.com/pulse/organisa… ping Elham Aboufazeli

'been a while since I tweeted or posted on LinkedIn, mostly thanks to diving in at the deep-end back into my career in #highereducation. Anyway, finally got to writing something about why you might choose a poly or institute of tech over a uni in 2020: linkedin.com/pulse/why-choo…
