Q&A: How can I create a product to help people with applied learning?

Notes from Chris

Episode 1357

How do you learn?

The field of pedagogical theory is full of constant research, methods, and debates. We know that people learn in different ways—you might like the medium of audio, for example—but it’s also true that there are ways to improve how you learn regardless of your personality or preferences. And of course, if you can improve how you learn, you can learn more or learn it faster.

That’s what today’s listener is interested in: how to help people learn more actively. Sounds good, but could this be a product or service?

"I’d like to help people learn—but not learn any specific topic, like coding or drawing or whatever, but to improve their skill of learning itself. If you can learn at a faster rate or just more effectively, you’ll ultimately be able to learn a lot more. However, even though the benefit seems clear (and valuable!) I’m not sure how to translate this benefit into a specific product. Should it be some kind of course, or maybe a book? Something else?  "
