No.03 Learner autonomy & flexibility

While a lot of our learning experiences come with a pre-defined curriculum, the learner should get an opportunity to exercise their autonomy during the learning experience. This could be what they learn (curriculum), how they learn (pedagogy/ content) or when they learn (Flexibility).

By empowering our learners to take even small decisions in the learning journey, we ensure more buy-in and more ownership of the overall learning process.

Example:

• Letting the group ‘vote’ on what icebreaker they’d like to do at the beginning of the session

• Getting learners to pick a topic of their choice from a pre-decided list that they’d like to dig deeper into
