00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,880
Hey everyone and welcome back to the deep dive.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,600
Today we're looking at learning, how we learn,

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,200
but maybe turning things upside down a little bit.

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,120
Like what if you didn't have to start from scratch?

5
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:14,920
Just soaking up information before you can really get involved.

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,720
Yeah, that's a question a lot of people have.

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,720
And hopefully today's deep dive will give us some answers.

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:20,320
Right.

9
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,080
We're looking at an article called ICAAP.

10
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:25,800
It's by Gary Ackerman.

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,840
And it's from the hackscience.education blog.

12
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,080
Sounds kind of cryptic, right?

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,200
Like a secret code?

14
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,240
It does.

15
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,560
But it's an acronym that breaks down

16
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,600
different types of learning.

17
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,440
And it even ranks them from most to least effective.

18
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,880
OK, I'm intrigued.

19
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,920
So what does ICAAP actually stand for?

20
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,240
It stands for interactive, constructive, active, and passive.

21
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,880
And the greater than signs show you it's not just a list.

22
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,280
It's showing how effective each type of learning is.

23
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:53,760
Gotcha.

24
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,200
So interactive is at the top and passive is at the bottom.

25
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,560
OK, that makes sense.

26
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,120
But what do these terms actually mean in practice?

27
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,360
Like what's the difference between active and constructive?

28
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,640
Well, let's say you're learning guitar.

29
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,360
Watching videos without even picking up a guitar,

30
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,480
that would be passive.

31
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,440
Active would be watching those videos

32
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,640
and trying to follow along, trying out the chords

33
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,080
and everything.

34
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,320
Yeah, OK, so actually doing the thing instead of just watching

35
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:19,440
makes sense.

36
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,880
What about constructive learning?

37
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,320
What would that look like?

38
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:24,800
So for that, you'd start experimenting.

39
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,680
You've got the basics from the videos,

40
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,600
and now you're trying to come up with your own strumming pattern.

41
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,400
Or maybe figuring out a song by ear.

42
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,960
OK, I see where you're going with this.

43
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:36,320
So then the top level interactive

44
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:40,520
would be like joining a band or just jamming with friends.

45
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,320
Exactly.

46
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:45,720
You're getting feedback, learning from each other's playing,

47
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,520
maybe even writing songs together.

48
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,120
That kind of back and forth takes learning to a whole other level.

49
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,280
Yeah, this is really starting to click for me.

50
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,440
But why should our listeners care about this ICAP thing?

51
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,560
I mean, it's cool, but how does it actually

52
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,000
help them learn anything?

53
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,960
Well, the great thing about ICAP and what Ackerman really

54
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,720
emphasizes is that it's not just some theory, right?

55
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,920
It's a tool you can actually use.

56
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,600
So you can learn more effectively,

57
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,160
whether you're prepping for a presentation,

58
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,280
learning some new software, or yeah, even learning to play guitar.

59
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,440
I think I see what you mean.

60
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,200
So instead of just listening to this and nodding along,

61
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,800
our listeners could be thinking how to apply this to their own lives.

62
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,880
Exactly.

63
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,320
And here's the really interesting part.

64
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,680
The article makes it clear.

65
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,600
You don't have to start with passive learning and work your way up.

66
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,760
You can jump right into interactive learning.

67
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,760
Hold on, seriously.

68
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,720
You're saying I can just jump right into a new subject,

69
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,160
even if I know nothing about it.

70
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,440
That's exactly what he's saying.

71
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,960
We tend to think we need to absorb a ton of information

72
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,000
before we can actually do anything with it.

73
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,400
But this model says, no, you can jump right in.

74
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,360
Wow, that's pretty cool.

75
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,840
It's like you're saying it's OK to learn by doing,

76
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,560
even if you don't feel ready.

77
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,640
You got it.

78
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:58,240
It's about being an active learner,

79
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,480
even if you're a total beginner.

80
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,680
But let's not get too ahead of ourselves.

81
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,200
Learning guitar is one thing.

82
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,320
How does iCAP apply to everyday stuff,

83
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,880
like getting ready for a meeting at work,

84
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,880
or reading an article for your job?

85
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,200
Right, good point.

86
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,520
I think we need to bring this down to Earth a bit.

87
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Yeah, totally.

88
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,280
First, let's look at the difference between active and constructive learning.

89
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,160
They can be kind of tricky.

90
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,520
Imagine you're reading an article for work,

91
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,240
just highlighting things as you go.

92
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,920
That's active learning.

93
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:30,840
You're engaging with it, but not really creating anything new.

94
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,240
OK, I get that.

95
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,640
So what would constructive learning look like?

96
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:37,080
So you're still taking notes on that article,

97
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,760
but you're not just summarizing, right?

98
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,760
You're connecting it to your own work,

99
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,240
maybe coming up with questions, even brainstorming ways

100
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,840
to use those ideas.

101
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,360
OK, so it's about how deeply you're thinking about it, right?

102
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,160
Not just taking it in, but working with it,

103
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,320
making connections, building something new.

104
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:51,920
Exactly.

105
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,760
It's like memorizing a recipe versus coming up with your own dish.

106
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,840
Both involve the recipe, but the outcome is totally different.

107
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:00,960
That's a great analogy.

108
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,160
It really shows the difference.

109
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,680
Now, how about constructive versus interactive?

110
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,120
Where's the line there?

111
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,760
OK, so let's say you're trying to solve a problem at work.

112
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,600
If you're working on it alone, that's constructive.

113
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,920
But if you take those ideas to your team

114
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,720
and you brainstorm together, bounce ideas off each other,

115
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,520
that's interactive.

116
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,520
Oh, so the difference is working together, that back and forth.

117
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,840
You're taking your ideas and putting them out there

118
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:24,600
with other people.

119
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,520
You got it.

120
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,640
And even something like a workshop can be interactive.

121
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,080
As long as you're participating, asking questions,

122
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,200
talking to the presenter and other people there,

123
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,600
it's not about the format.

124
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,360
It's about how you're participating.

125
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,560
So even introverts like me can be interactive learners.

126
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,920
It's not about being the loudest person there.

127
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,560
It's about actively engaging in the learning process.

128
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,640
It's empowering.

129
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:48,200
Exactly.

130
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,080
It's about finding those opportunities to connect, collaborate,

131
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,640
and push your thinking further.

132
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,760
This has been amazing.

133
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,320
I'm already rethinking how I approach learning.

134
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,840
But how can our listeners put this theory into action?

135
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,320
What are some things they can do to make their learning more

136
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,160
effective?

137
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,280
Well, first, be aware.

138
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:08,120
Think about your own learning habits.

139
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,080
Where do you naturally fall in that ICP spectrum?

140
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,000
Right, like taking stock before you start.

141
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,680
Once you know your tendencies, you

142
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,200
can start pushing yourself toward more interactive

143
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,680
and constructive experiences.

144
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:19,440
You got it.

145
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,160
It's about being more intentional,

146
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,600
recognizing opportunities, and making choices

147
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,040
about how you engage.

148
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,120
OK, so say someone's like me, a total bookworm.

149
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,960
They naturally gravitate toward reading,

150
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,400
which is kind of solitary.

151
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,520
How can they make that more interactive?

152
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,680
Oh, tons of ways.

153
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,240
Join a book club, start an online group,

154
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,680
or even just grab a friend who's reading the same book

155
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,840
and chat about it.

156
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,800
The point is to connect with others who

157
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,000
are interested in the same things

158
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,080
and have conversations about what you're learning.

159
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,720
So even introverts can be interactive learners.

160
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,760
It's not about being the loudest person in the room,

161
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,320
but finding ways to participate and contribute

162
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,600
to the learning process.

163
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,720
That's really cool.

164
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,440
Absolutely.

165
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,400
And you can start small.

166
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,280
You don't have to change everything overnight.

167
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:01,560
Just pick one area where you want

168
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,600
to be more intentional, experiment,

169
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,720
and see what works for you.

170
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,800
Small steps, big impact.

171
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,520
Love it.

172
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,560
Exactly.

173
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,840
Remember, there's no one right way to learn.

174
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:14,120
The key is to keep learning, keep growing,

175
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,920
and keep exploring different approaches.

176
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,280
This has been so thought provoking.

177
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:19,960
I feel like I have a whole new set of tools for learning,

178
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,280
for myself, and for anyone I'm teaching.

179
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:23,080
I'm so glad to hear that.

180
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,440
But before we get carried away, let's pause here.

181
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,960
Give our listeners a chance to digest

182
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,880
all this amazing information.

183
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,600
We'll be back soon with more insights and practical advice

184
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,800
on how to use the power of iCAP.

185
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,520
OK, so we're back and ready to dive deeper into iCAP.

186
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,880
Before the break, we were talking

187
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,320
about how to really put this concept into action.

188
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,720
Make it something you use, not just something you know about.

189
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:47,160
Right.

190
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,200
And it's worth mentioning that iCAP isn't just

191
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,920
for individuals.

192
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,640
It's great for anyone who designs learning experiences,

193
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,120
like teachers, trainers, even someone putting together

194
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,840
a presentation for their team.

195
00:06:57,840 --> 00:06:58,760
I hadn't thought of that.

196
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,800
So instead of just giving information,

197
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,600
I could use iCAP to make my presentations more engaging,

198
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,560
more effective.

199
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,800
Yeah, exactly.

200
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,560
Think about ways to build in those higher levels of learning,

201
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,160
like interactive and constructive, right?

202
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,400
Maybe a Q&A or a group activity where people actually

203
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,440
use the information, or even a challenge that gets them

204
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,360
thinking critically about the topic.

205
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,160
OK, I'm seeing the possibilities here.

206
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,280
So instead of just showing my team the latest sales figures,

207
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,720
I could challenge them to come up with ways to improve them.

208
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,640
There you go.

209
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,640
And when you design learning experiences with iCAP in mind,

210
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,640
you're not just making things more fun.

211
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,120
You're actually boosting understanding and retention.

212
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,520
So everyone wins.

213
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,120
Now, I'm curious about something the article mentioned.

214
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,800
Ackerman says, learners can jump into interactive learning

215
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,160
even if they don't have any experience in a field.

216
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,120
How does that work?

217
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,120
Seems like you'd need some basic knowledge first.

218
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,720
I know, it sounds counterintuitive, right?

219
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,220
Yeah.

220
00:07:53,220 --> 00:07:54,000
But think about it.

221
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,920
Even if you're brand new to a subject,

222
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,360
you still bring your own perspective, your own life

223
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,320
experience.

224
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,480
And that can be really valuable in an interactive setting.

225
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,840
So it's not about being an expert.

226
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,640
It's about bringing your curiosity and your willingness

227
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,360
to learn, even if you don't have all the answers.

228
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,560
Yeah, exactly.

229
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,600
And in an interactive setting, nobody

230
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,440
expects you to have all the answers.

231
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,240
It's about asking questions, sharing what you think,

232
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,960
and learning from other people who might have more expertise.

233
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:20,460
I get it.

234
00:08:20,460 --> 00:08:22,640
It's not about being the smartest person.

235
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,520
It's about actively participating,

236
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,000
no matter how much you know.

237
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:26,600
Right.

238
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,320
Like in brainstorming sessions, sometimes

239
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,600
the most innovative ideas come from people

240
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,600
who are new to the field.

241
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,440
They bring a fresh perspective.

242
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,800
That's a great point.

243
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,280
Sometimes not knowing everything can be an advantage.

244
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,240
So for our listeners who are ready to embrace iCAP,

245
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,320
what are some tips for finding opportunities

246
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,760
for interactive learning in their daily lives?

247
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,520
Well, first tip, be curious.

248
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,520
Don't just sit back and take in information,

249
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,080
ask questions, challenge things, and look

250
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,320
for different points of view.

251
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,240
It's like being that five-year-old who always asks why.

252
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,000
Love that.

253
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
It's about bringing that curiosity to everything you learn.

254
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,680
Right.

255
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:07,160
And don't avoid conversations with people who disagree with you.

256
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,440
Those can be some of the best learning experiences.

257
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,760
Oh, I know what you mean.

258
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,920
It's when you have to really think critically,

259
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,960
defend your own views, or even be open to changing your mind.

260
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:17,840
That's it.

261
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,560
Even if you don't end up changing your mind,

262
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,120
you get a deeper understanding of the issue.

263
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,400
You see where the other person is coming from.

264
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,440
That's so important, especially these days,

265
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,920
when there's so much information coming at us.

266
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,520
We need to be able to think for ourselves.

267
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,800
Absolutely.

268
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,640
Another way to use interactive learning is to collaborate.

269
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,960
Join a study group, volunteer for a project that pushes you,

270
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,240
or find a mentor.

271
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,400
Find your people, people who also love to learn and grow.

272
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,040
Learning doesn't have to be lonely.

273
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,000
It's often more fun and more effective when you learn together.

274
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:49,840
I completely agree.

275
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,080
Learning is social at its heart.

276
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,280
This is all so inspiring.

277
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,800
I feel like I have a whole new toolbox for learning, not just

278
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,760
for me, but for anyone I'm teaching to.

279
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,160
That's awesome to hear.

280
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,720
And remember, ICQ is a framework, not a set of rules.

281
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,360
Find what works best for you.

282
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,640
So experiment, explore, and keep diving deep

283
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,360
into those learning experiences.

284
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,920
Yes, that's the spirit.

285
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,240
OK, we've covered a lot today.

286
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,040
We decoded ICQ, talked about why it's important,

287
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,760
and even brainstormed some ways to use it.

288
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,200
But before we wrap up, I want to make sure this sticks.

289
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,200
Go beyond understanding the concept

290
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,520
and actually use it to learn more effectively.

291
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,240
Yeah, we need to make this actionable, right?

292
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,480
Knowing about ICQ is one thing.

293
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,200
But putting it into practice is what matters.

294
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:32,880
Exactly.

295
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,040
So how can our listeners know if they're

296
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,280
using the right learning approach?

297
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,960
Let's say they're picking between two online courses

298
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,120
or deciding whether to go to a workshop or just read a book.

299
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,000
How can ISAC help them decide?

300
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:45,920
That's a good question.

301
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,680
When you're looking at a learning opportunity,

302
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:48,520
think about this.

303
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,920
Where does it fall on that ISAP spectrum?

304
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,720
Is it mostly just taking in information?

305
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,440
Or does it involve interaction, construction, putting things

306
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,120
into practice?

307
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,480
So look for keywords, right?

308
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,520
Like discussion, collaboration, hands-on activities,

309
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,440
problem solving, that kind of thing.

310
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,560
That's it.

311
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:07,160
And don't be shy about contacting the organizers

312
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,520
or instructors.

313
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,280
Ask them about their approach.

314
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,680
Do they encourage people to participate?

315
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:16,080
Do they give feedback and opportunities to collaborate?

316
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,800
The more you know about how it's designed,

317
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,920
the better you can choose the experiences that fit your goals

318
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,600
and how you learn best.

319
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,960
It's like being a smart shopper, but for learning instead

320
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:27,560
of stuff.

321
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:29,240
You're investing your time and energy,

322
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,240
so you want to make sure you're getting the most out of it.

323
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,320
Perfect analogy.

324
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,560
OK, let's bring this all together.

325
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:35,120
What's the main thing our listeners

326
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,000
should take away from this deep dive into iCAP?

327
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,440
I think the most important thing is

328
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,800
that you have more control over your learning than you think.

329
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,840
iCAP is a powerful way to understand how we learn

330
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,160
and how to make it better.

331
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,240
But it's not a rigid set of rules.

332
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,760
You can adapt it to what you need and what you like.

333
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,760
So it's not about finding the one right way.

334
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,720
It's about finding what works for you.

335
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,080
You got it.

336
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,640
Experiment, see what works, and don't

337
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,720
be afraid to try new things.

338
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,880
The more you work with iCAP, the more you'll

339
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,520
learn about yourself as a learner,

340
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:06,640
and the better you'll become.

341
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,680
I'm so happy we did this deep dive.

342
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:11,440
It's really changed how I think about learning.

343
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,960
Before we go, I want to leave our listeners with something

344
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,280
to think about.

345
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,520
We talked about how you don't have to go through the learning

346
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,520
types in order.

347
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,840
So what's one area where you could jump right

348
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,560
into interactive learning, even if you're a beginner?

349
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:25,280
What's something you're curious about

350
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,760
that you could explore with other people?

351
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,920
Don't be afraid to just dive in.

352
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,760
That's a fantastic challenge.

353
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,160
And remember, the great thing about interactive learning

354
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,000
is that it's a journey you share with others.

355
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,200
You never know what you'll discover along the way.

356
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,880
On that note, we'll leave you to ponder that question.

357
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,880
Thanks for joining us on the deep dive.

358
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,600
Keep learning, keep exploring, and we'll catch you next time.

359
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,680
And we're back for our final look at iCAP.

360
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:56,160
We've talked about the framework, why it matters,

361
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,040
even how to use it.

362
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,720
But I think to really make iCAP work for us,

363
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,120
we got to understand the why behind it all.

364
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,440
Yeah, you're absolutely right.

365
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,920
The why is super important.

366
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,840
Knowing how to use it is one thing.

367
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,280
But knowing why it works, that helps us use it better

368
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,400
more intentionally.

369
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,160
OK, so let's talk about that.

370
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,360
Why is interactive learning so much better than passively

371
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,720
reading a book or watching a lecture?

372
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:20,920
Well, a few things.

373
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,440
One is accountability.

374
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,880
When you're learning interactively,

375
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,920
you're engaging with others.

376
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,400
Sharing your thoughts, being part of the conversation,

377
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,680
that makes you more responsible, more motivated.

378
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:35,000
Yeah, it's like you're not just learning for yourself anymore.

379
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,200
You're learning for the group.

380
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:36,960
Exactly.

381
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,560
And then there's the fact that you get different perspectives.

382
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:42,880
When you're interacting, you hear all sorts of viewpoints

383
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,080
and ideas.

384
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,680
That can challenge your own assumptions

385
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:47,440
and help you understand things better.

386
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,840
Oh, I've definitely experienced that.

387
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,240
Sometimes a colleague will say something,

388
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,320
or a student will ask a question,

389
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,600
and it totally changes how I see things.

390
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:56,240
Right.

391
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,080
Those aha moments often come from interaction,

392
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,200
from bumping up against different viewpoints.

393
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,000
And from a brain perspective, interactive learning

394
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,440
makes you really work with the information.

395
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,520
You have to make connections, explain your ideas.

396
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,680
That helps you understand or remember things better.

397
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:14,200
It's like you're not just letting the information wash over you.

398
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,320
You're really grappling with it, trying to figure it out.

399
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:17,920
Exactly.

400
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,400
That's what really makes it stick.

401
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,360
Of course, no learning model is perfect.

402
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,680
ICP has its limits.

403
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,120
Context is important.

404
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:26,680
Right.

405
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,600
So interactive learning isn't always the best way, is it?

406
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,480
Sometimes passive or active learning might be better.

407
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,200
Yeah, definitely.

408
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,240
Like if you're learning something totally new,

409
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,360
maybe you need a bit of basic knowledge

410
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,960
before you jump into a group discussion, right?

411
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,040
Or if you're pressed for time, maybe just reading

412
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,320
a quick summary is better than organizing a whole meeting.

413
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,320
Makes sense.

414
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,600
It's about picking the right tool for the job.

415
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,240
OK, so we've talked about the why behind ICP.

416
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,280
And we've mentioned its limitations.

417
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,280
Anything else our listeners should keep in mind

418
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,120
as they start using this framework?

419
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,720
I think the most important thing is to be flexible,

420
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,360
to experiment, try different things,

421
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,360
see what works best for you, and don't be afraid to change

422
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:08,720
your approach as you go.

423
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,200
Learning is, well, it's a process, right?

424
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,800
What works in one situation might not work in another.

425
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:14,880
That's a really good point.

426
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,200
We all learn differently.

427
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:16,920
Totally.

428
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,920
And the more we understand how we learn,

429
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,400
the better we can navigate the whole learning world.

430
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,560
Well said.

431
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,440
This has been such a fascinating deep dive into ISAC app.

432
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,160
I know I've learned a ton, and I hope our listeners have too.

433
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,320
It's been great exploring this with you.

434
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,640
Before we wrap up, I want to encourage everyone

435
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,640
to actually use these ideas.

436
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,600
Don't just let them sit there in your head.

437
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,920
Go out and experiment with ISAC Hill,

438
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,760
make your learning more interactive, more constructive,

439
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,280
more engaging, and most importantly, have fun.

440
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,120
Yes.

441
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,120
Enjoy learning.

442
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,760
That's the best advice.

443
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,720
Thanks for joining us on the deep dive.

444
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,400
Keep learning.

445
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,640
Keep growing, and we'll see you next time.
