Welcome to Julia's Learning Stack!
Where I'll share my musings, thoughts, ideas about learning, including things that are inspiring me, or provoking my thoughts. It's where learning science meets the real world!
Hello!!!
I am Julia and I’m a learning expert with a passion for bringing the science of learning out of the ivory tower and into the “real” world to improve learning experience design and outcomes. For everyone!
In many ways I am a generalist. I don’t focus on a narrow niche, or population in my work and my research. And to understand why, here are a few truths about learning:
💡Learning is happening all around us—in large, medium, and small ways.
💡Understanding HOW learning happens, and not how we wish it did, can improve and influence many facets of our lives.
💡If we want to know the best way to teach something, we need to consider the context.
💡Learning is hard! And only when we are doing hard things are we really learning!
The above is my mantra. OK, actually my mantra is:
Learning is hard: Hard is learning
My newsletter is a place to share strategies, tips, insights, guidance, musings about applications of learning science in the ‘real world’ and to showcase the work of others who are inspiring and teaching me too!
My company is called To Eleven and yes, the name was inspired by This is Spinal Tap. I chose it because it embodies the fact that at To Eleven we go above and beyond in all we do.
Whether you’re a novice just dipping your toes into the world of learning, a seasoned educator, researcher, or L&D professional, or just curious about how getting insight into how learning works can help you understand the world a little better, I hope you’ll climb aboard and join me on this learning journey!
