Kevin Jenson

Transitioning from High School into college as a Gates Millenium Scholar, I expected to continue to thrive in the world of education. But within a year I realized that my classes were getting in the way of learning and I was spending all of my time on meaningless tasks. Instead of dropping out, I followed encouragement from a friend to travel the world while completing a degree in business. This cultural immersion coupled with non-stop efforts to start my own business taught me that nothing is more valuable than the chance to learn by doing. Through a Master of Education, I have developed a model of learning designed around the holistic development of the individual to give many more people the opportunities I wish I would have had.

Human-Centered Learning

Because education deals with individuals, it is important for learners to understand what an individual is. They cannot learn in any other way than that of a human being. It is also important for them to understand the world they live in. The world they live in exists of both visible and invisible aspects, but the invisible have a stronger influence, though their presence is often overlooked. This is the context in which their education will take place. Read More

Elyseum Hall

In ancient Greek mythology, there existed a place accessible only to those with the heart of a hero. The movie Gladiator presents the promise of walking the Elysian Plains with those who have gone before, but only for those who are willing to live and fight with both courage and kindness.

The need for such a hero has never been more evident and it is time to once again call for those who feel within a stirring toward this common purpose: To become the heroes who walk among the gods, whose lives are formed to become leaders of men, and who become the catalysts for the renewal of our culture through the transformation of the individual mind.

Elyseum Hall

Ancient Greek mythology tells of a place accessible only to those with the courage and kindness found in the heart of a hero. Today, the need for such a hero has never been more pressing and it is time to gather those who feel within a stirring toward this common purpose: to become the heroes who walk among the gods, whose lives are formed to become leaders of men, and who serve as the catalysts for the renewal of culture through the transformation of the individual mind.

Origins of Human-Centered Learning

The proposed shift from content-centered learning to Human-Centered Learning is not a new concept. It is informed and developed by multiple learning theories and and key educational leaders from a diverse range of perspectives.

The Future of Education

Less than 300 years ago, an institution existed throughout western Europe known as the guild. The guild was the center of commerce in the same way that the universities were the center of thought. In contrast to the guild where individuals learned to master trades through a complex system of apprenticeship, universities more closely resembled…

My Journey Into Education

My journey into education can be traced back to its heritage in the tropical Islands of Cuba and Papua New Guinea. The first was where my grandfathers sisters provided education for the poor workers in the town near their sugar mill. The second was where my parents spent over a decade in the mountains and…

PhD Application

All this indicates that there is some value to further research and development of the idea of Human-Centered Learning. However, the concept itself has hardly reached an explicit definition and the methods of its implementation remain vague at best. It will take additional research, testing, and the rigor of a PhD program to expose its potential, its flaws and the way in which it can identify a nexus of synergies between both a range of educational theories and the changing world of technology.
