Absorbent Learning: Change the Way You Learn | Online

About this event

There are two types of learning: Active learning and Absorbent Learning. Active learning is when you specifically take time out of your day to do nothing but learn. You are actively learning when you go to a class (like this one!), do your homework, watch a documentary, or read a physical book. Active learning is supremely important in our lives, but it oftentimes is not convenient. To actively learn in this class, you need to sacrifice your Tuesday night, you need to muster the motivation to show up, and you need the ability to physically be in the classroom. Not easy, especially with your busy schedule. In contrast, Absorbent Learning is learning done in your life’s white space. White space is any time in your day where your hands are busy, but you aren’t critically thinking (e.g. your commute, your shower, walking the dog, etc.). This class will teach you how to force Absorbent Learning into your busy day using the white spaces that already exist within your schedule. Going to this class is an investment in yourself that will likely change your day-to-day learning efforts, and change the way you see learning itself.

Takeaways

In this workshop, we will go into depth on the three types of Absorbent Learning: auditory, visual, and experiential. You will leave with an actionable list of strategies and tools you can use to supplement your active learning efforts with absorbent learning.
