The principles of heutagogy involve making the learner a partner in designing their own learning process and content. The curriculum should be flexible to allow exploration of new questions and understanding, and learning is recognized as non-linear and individualized. Assessment is flexible or negotiated, and learners contextualize concepts while using experiential learning techniques in a collaborative environment that facilitates reflection and metacognition.

2. Principles of Heutagogy
 involve the learner in designing their own learning content and
process as a partner;
 make the curriculum flexible so that new questions and
understanding can be explored as new neuronal pathways are
developed;
 recognize that learning is non-linear;
 individualize learning as much as possible;
 provide flexible or negotiated assessment;
 enable the learner to contextualize concepts, knowledge and
new understanding;

3. Principles of Heutagogy
 use experiential learning techniques;
 facilitate collaborative learning;
 facilitate reflection, and double loop and triple loop
learning (metacognition);
 provide lots of resources and let the learner explore;
 develop research skills including how to be discerning
about ideas and content;

4. Principles of Heutagogy
 differentiate between knowledge and skill acquisition
(competencies) and deep learning;
 recognize the importance of informal learning and that
we only need to enable it rather than control it;
 have confidence in the learner; and
 recognize that teaching and teacher control can become
a block to learning.
