Beyond Bloom’s with Fink’s Significant Learning Outcomes

In the mid 20th Century, Benjamin Bloom and his team set out to boldly map the full landscape of human capability. The thing is, if you look at how his work is actually used in the wild today, you’ll find a highly flattened, single-dimension version of his original vision. To Bloom and his team’s credit,…

Strategizing Health Literacy with Integral Learning and Development

The Challenge BC Children’s Hospital Health Promotion and Health Literacy Department commissioned Learnbase to produce a research-based education strategy. Research findings were acquired through the systematic gathering of both qualitative and quantitative data. Findings were used to generate insight and recommendations. The general goal of the research is to support the department’s vision to: become…

Mapping Possibilities: Using Video

In the last post we explained how we use the Learnbase Learning Focus Map in our work with organizations to help teams identify bias, presumptions and gaps in meeting learner or even organizational objectives. To do that we must admit that we stereotyped the tasks and tools a little by plotting them at a very…

Mapping Tasks, Tools and Technologies

So far we’ve discussed more theoretical aspects of the Learnbase Learning Focus Map, part of our adaptation and application of Integral Theory to adult learning design. In this post we’ll bring it sharply into focus with a look at how specific tools, tasks and technologies map onto specific quadrants. Let’s quickly revisit the four quadrants…

Mapping Approaches on the Learnbase Learning Focus Map

In our last two posts we introduced The Learnbase Learning Focus Map and then explored its axes and quadrants that we have based on Wilber’s Four-Quadrant model. Today, we look at how we can apply the Learnbase Learning Focus Map in a practical way to support project planning. If you didn’t catch the previous two…

Explaining Learnbase’s Learning Focus Map

In our previous post, Introducing Learnbase’s Learning Focus Map, we provided a brief background to the Learning Focus Map. In this post we’ll walk you through The Focus Map in a slightly theoretical way.   Focus Map Overview  The Learning Focus Map is inspired by and borrows from an aspect of Integral Theory developed by…

Introducing Learnbase’s Learning Focus Map

Central to our approach in almost every aspect of what we do at Learnbase is the Learning Focus Map. It’s proven to be an essential tool in supporting collaborative conversations around analyzing and planning learning design as well as product development approaches, tools and tasks. Learnbase’s Learning Focus Map builds directly on philosopher Ken Wilber’s…
