Shoot Me Please!  Lets get out of our own way .. “Informed Learning”

Flowcharts – Methodology, relevant models, perceptions, accomodations, yields, worldview, framework of ideas, area of concern,  … Methodology description with no useful content,

informed learning, participatory action research, learning with and for beneficiaries, systems thinking, encounters with information, soft systems methodology

All this means:

  • use of faculty and student to identify core marketing concepts and build a “digial research portal” for Marketing Curric. (interdisciplinary)
  • co-created assignments
  • library liaison model (partnership)
  • co-evaluate
  • teaching in commons area
  • using active learning (participatory)

“Informed Learning” – using information to learn – duh!!
