KaosPilot Masterclass

Wow! How many training courses take you to LA? Alkimia Learning's incredible ~ KAOSPILOT Masterclass Part 2: Designing and Facilitating Learning Spaces ~ did. It was an intense and valuable learning experience.

This fearless training was tough, but it made the learning oh-so-deep: Team 23 had to discover the learning by doing. Together, we came to grips with the Learning Arches approach. Shaped and guided but never told, Ramon showed us the path, but we had to walk it. Once walked, his skill in sense-making of that experience is extraordinary. We experienced the highs and lows of learning across the four days.

After completing Part 1 in October, I went in looking for a co-construction approach to designing learning journeys. Got that and so more. We did the 'preject'; we 'set-held-landed' our arches, weaving together pedagogy, narrative and KSAVs. Together, we joined-the-dots for a coherent, holistic learning design approach.

Never have I been so challenged by training. I certainly sat in the discomfort not 'getting it' - and am grateful for it. The Aha! breakthroughs are significant and real. There is audacious trust in the process. Rarely has training challenged me to think deeply, relying on all of Team 23 to co-construct the understanding.

There are a heap of people to thank:
To Ramon Marmolejos and Zoe Fitzgerald (brilliant facilitators who so generously shared their KSAV)
To the RMIT's Professor Angela Carbone, Dr Anselm Paul, SFHEA, Thoa Mai Phuoc Nguyen, Leona Norris, Mark Brown for making and contributing to the training.
...and, of course, the Learning Arches Masterclass Team 23 and the Alkimia Learning / KaosPilot Learning Arches Alumni.

He took photos along the way and used Gemini to swap the background. The 10 photos made a brilliant way of summarising the session. Kudos Matt!)
