White Paper: The Value of Learning About Learning

It's an open secret that learning has become the ultimate competitive advantage in our dynamic, knowledge-based society. If you're going to make a go at this, you need to understand the elements that build and perpetuate a learning-to-learn culture.

Here's a summary of our presentation to eLearning Forum in March 2002.

Beliefs

Everyone has the capacity to learn but most people can do a much better job of it. Learning is a skill one can improve. Learning how to learn is a key to its mastery.

Learning is the primary determinant of personal and professional success in our ever-changing knowledge age. People and organizations that strive to succeed had better get good at it. Our goal is to help them.

The Meta-Learning Lab focuses on the process of learning - helping individuals learn how to learn and groups how to create optimal learning environments.
