5. Heutagogy principles
Involve the learner in designing their own learning content and process as an equal
partner;
make the curriculum process flexible so that new questions and understanding can be
explored as new neuronal pathways are explored;
individualise learning as much as possible;
use social media to network learners;
provide flexible or negotiated assessment;
enable the learner to contextualise concepts, knowledge and new understanding;
provide lots of resources and enable the learner to explore essential content;
experiment and research;

6. Heutagogy principles
base practice on the latest science;
engage learners in collaborative learning;
differentiate between knowledge and skill acquisition (competencies) and
deep learning;
help learners curate information;
recognise the importance of informal learning and that we only need to
enable it rather than control it;
have confidence in the learner;
be on top of the subject area so you can be a resource; and
recognise that teaching can become a block to learning.
