Learning how to learn is a crucial skill for the 21st century. It's also a skill that few people fully understand. It can make you flexible, adaptable, and future-proof your career. Beyond that, learning how to learn infuses life with more potential and excitement. Imagine being able to acquire a new language, take up a new sport, or learn to play an instrument in less time, by using the most effective, research-backed methods available.
Learning How to Learn, The Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) led by professors Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski, lays out these methods and strategies in plain language. While the course itself typically takes four weeks, I was able to complete it in just a few days, using some of the methods I picked up from reading Scott Young's book Ultralearning. You can too.
Because teaching and creating are such powerful learning tools, I distilled the main concepts of the course into a handy infographic. While it doesn't include everything from the MOOC, it does offer a basic primer on the course content. Hopefully, it gives you a framework to improve your own learning, and gives me something to look back at so that I don't forget too much!
