In this course, you will learn about the science of learning and how to use it so you can learn more effectively and maintain that learning for the long term. The course will also explore (experientially) Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, emphasizing that learning is a collaborative process and profoundly influenced by social interactions and cultural context. Finally, the course will support you by exploring ways to find the joy in learning and how learning is enhanced by social interaction and collaboration.
