The document discusses a new model for content development and delivery that is based on how learners naturally learn. Interviews with over 200 clinician learners identified four natural learning actions - note taking, reminders, learning search, and social triggering. The new model involves providers planning and developing content within a customized learning architecture that supports these four actions. Learners then access the content within an environment engineered to facilitate their natural learning processes for optimal learning outcomes.

3. Do Learners Really Know How to Learn?
Interviewed 200+ clinician
learners to define the
‘process of learning’
•
Cohort included physicians,
residents, medical students,
specialists, generalist, allied
health professionals
Also explored how
effective and efficient
they were at the
employing this process

4. New Thinking:
The Natural Learning Actions
There are 4 generally
acknowledged actions
learners feel drive effective
learning
Education planning,
development, and delivery
that does not support the 4
Natural Learning Actions is
at risk of remaining
‘minimally effective’

9. The New Model:
Engineering a “Learning Architecture”
Providers plan and develop
content which leverages a
customized learning
architecture
Learners access content
within an environment that
supports their learning
actions
Content and architecture are
married to ensure optimal
learning (and assessment)
