History of Accelerated Learning by RapidBI-Mgt

This is Dr Lozanov NOT Mike Morrison

Mike Morrison over at RapidBi.com has written a great article on the history of Accelerated Learning (Brain Friendly Learning). He ends with this insightful conclusion:

Anything that is good has to be handled with caution and the developments in Accelerated Learning are no exception. With the advent of the Internet, there has been a mushrooming of sites offering instant fixes. Solutions are different from quick fixes as the difference between the two is the time. Overnight, nothing can be achieved and these sites which offer instant fixes belong to the category which would spoil the names of stalwarts who have spent their life time in creating, testing and validating theories relating to ‘Accelerated Learning’. Hence, the readers would well be advised to use their judgment in differentiating the wheat from chaff.

Tracing the history of Accelerated Learning from it origins in Lozanov’s “Suggestopedia” thorugh Colin Rose’s “SuperLearning” and Dave Meier’s take on it’s application in the corporate training world, Mike provides a wonderful overview of the development of Brain Friendly Learning up to the Mid 2000′s.

I guess it’s up to us all to contribute to the next phase of it’s development as we apply the researchers lastest findings into our own training environments.
