Human-Centered Learning is an approach to education in which the individual in-FORMATION replaces the INFORMation of the individual as the primary and measurable objective of the learning experience. Drawing from graduate work at Colorado State University, Macquarie University, and my experience with learning and teaching across the globe, I have designed this website as a platform to inspire discussion, exploration, and a foundation for future research into the subject.

When I walk away from Kevin I feel re-calibrated. I come into the conversation thinking and perceiving one way and I leave, thinking and perceiving a different way. When I leave I feel Inspired, inspired to pursue the unknown. I feel courageous and full of thoughts, and meaning.

So how do you want people to feel when they leave a conversation? If you want people to feel adventurous, than one must become adventurous.  Who you are, transcends into who they are, amplifying all that they are.

I like how you suggest things without fully stating you have to do it. I honestly had a lot of fun and would recommend you…
