A Vision & Framework for Human-Centered Learning Environments

Dr. Bernard Bull

Industrial Age Learning Priorities

• Standardization & Uniformity

• Mass production & scale

• Efficiency & Order

• Quantification & Measurement

• Centralized Power & Authoritarianism

• Mechanization & Automation

• Technology (applied scientific knowledge)

Proposed list of alternative priorities

• Adventure & quests

• Agency & action

• Compassion & Connectedness

• Experimentation & Play

• Mastery & Growth

• Meaning & Purpose

• Wonder & Mystery

1. How can I use the language of quests and adventures?

2. What would my course look like as a quest?
