Do you know the actual theories of learning? A learning theory is an attempt to describe how people learn, helping us understand this inherently complex process.
Useful for key ideas in learning theory, though perhaps more a demonstration of someone's constructivist/connectivist thoughts on learning/teaching than a useful end product for others. (Constructiorism => constructionism).
