Are you ready to enter the Shift Age?

What’s the future hold? No matter what the answer to that question, active lifelong learners will be the ones best prepared to handle it. That’s just one of the perspectives that emerges in a recent interview I did with futurist David Houle on the Learning Revolution podcast . David is the author Entering the Shift Age , a new book that discusses the major trends that are pushing humanity into a whole new era and provides a detailed vision of the future. He also happens to be the son of Cy Houle...

How We Learn – A Conversation with Monisha Pasupathi

Dr. Monisha Pasupathi , a psychology professor at the University of Utah and star of the Teaching Company course How We Learn , was one of the people I interviewed as part of writing Leading the Learning Revolution (a book about how to start or grow an education business). I’ve turned those interviews into podcasts, and I thought this one would be of particular interest to Mission to Learn readers. It’s also a good companion to 10 Ways to Be a Better Learner . In our conversation we cover some c...

About Memory, Part II – Podcast with Fiona McPherson

This is the second installment of a Radio Free Learning podcast with Dr. Fiona McPherson, author of The Memory Key and curator of the About Memory Web site. In the first installment we discussed some of the keys to memory and why most memory courses don’t result in long-term memory improvement. In this second episode we discuss the brain training craze, how the brain changes as we age, and why effective note-taking (the topic of a recent book by Fiona ) is so important. Here’s the MP3 file link ...

About Memory, Part I – Podcast with Fiona McPherson

In this episode of the Radio Free Learning podcast, I talk with Dr. Fiona McPherson, author of The Memory Key and curator of the About Memory Web site. I came across Fiona’s work recently when I was writing 5 Key Paths to Improving Memory , and found her Web site to be one of the most thorough, well organized sites on memory out there. So, naturally, I contacted her to see if she would share some of her expertise with listeners here. Our conversation lasted long enough that I decided to break it...

This interview is a bit longer than earlier ...

Podcast with Mindbites' Jason Reneau

Nearly two years ago a friend introduced me to Jason Reneau, who at the time was in the process of getting his new company, MindBites , off the ground. Since then, I’ve watched as MindBites and a number of other “teach-learn-share” sites, as I tend to think of them, have sprouted and grown. Some of these sites are free. Some -as is the case with MindBites – offer a commercial marketplace where teachers and learners connect. Nearly all of of them, in my opinion, are great examples of how increase...
