I stumbled on this when looking up my old schools.
Commiserations to this gentleman’s family and friends.

In reply to Lucy Panesar.

Hi Lucy and many thanks. I have had a few false starts on projects to improve the map. My current interest is to work in a decolonisation direction – what learning theories have arisen elsewhere in the world? Where are the women? How has this influenced the quality of ideas?
The source of the map is made with Cmap which you can find here: https://cmap.ihmc.us/ and the file is on one of the IHMC servers:
IHMC Public Cmaps (3)/Users (create your own folder…)/Hotel EU project (a pig to navigate to…)
It is straightforward to make a copy of the latest version, and then use Cmap to improve your copy. Richard

Hello Richard
I hope this message finds you well.
Your map is a key resource on the PGCHE that I teach for helping participants understand the many learning theories out there. I see from the comments above that you plan to create an updated version, including more theories. Are you still planning to do this? And might the new version be in a format that others can add to, like we can with a Wiki?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Lucy

Comment on Desperately seeking sunshine by Ian Stewart

Well my friend, I have just completed reading the full blog. Amazing doesn’t cover it. You’ve definitely put the tech work in as the story deserves. The family and friends parts are brilliant. No wonder you want to go back as soon as possible.

It was very strange, though, every time I see or hear anything about first nation, Australians, I feel so sad and not a little personal shame. I for one, have no hesitation in saying I am sorry for what happened to 1st nation people in Australia, and in other countries where the Britain Elite abused indigenous peoples and their countries.

Having said that it is good to have you back Richard. You’re amazing Trip has reminded me of a similar trip my wife, Mez and I, took for our 25th wedding anniversary world tour, including spending a month driving round both islands in New Zealand. Wonderful memories! That was 25 years ago.

Looking forward to linking up with you when ever you’ve got time.

Keep well my friend.
Yours Aye
Ian

An absolute joy to read – my morning commute flew by! It’s heartwarming to read your own descriptions of places I remember (Canberra and Great Ocean Road in particular). Not as heartwarming, of course, as the time you spent with your family, old and new, which moved me greatly.

Good to have you back!

[…] Since Plato, many theories of learning have been developed, researched, applied, and modified, each one with a different take on how students learn. Learning theories describe “how students absorb, process, and retain knowledge during learning.” The number of different theories can be a bit overwhelming but we’re going to focus on a few of them, especially in relation to learning in the ‘digital age’ (If you’d like to see the expanse of learning theories over time, check out this graphic created by Richard Millwood from his blog) […]
