Some of you will have already signed up for Anouk Jansen-Bevernage's blog. If not, here's the latest link. Always worth a read, especially where she says:
"In training we need a much stronger focus on doing rather than knowing. Knowing is only useful if it feeds the doing. That’s why our learning designs should always start with the activities first. And the learning activities should imitate what people do in the real world. Don’t make things up".
I like the way she insists on authentic learning and activities to promote analytical skills and critical thinking.
