According to Dr. Diana Laurillard, there are 6 ways in which learning can happen. These ways are called learning types.
ACQUIRE
In this learning type, the learner can be reading a book or watching a movie. They can be listening to a lecture or a podcast, or reading journal articles. This tends to be seen as a more passive way to learn; they acquire concepts but they’re not required to do anything else.
INQUIRE
When learners do research, use guide questions to structure their thinking as they read or watch or listen, they are learning through Inquiry. This can be seen as a more active way to learn because the learners look for answers to questions.
DISCUSS
Exchanging ideas with other learners, listening to them, challenging them, and sharing their own thoughts are examples of learning through discussion. They aren’t required to agree because concepts develop through that back and forth conversation.
PRACTICE
Examples of learning through practice are lab activities, simulations or models, and role plays. In this learning type, the teacher gives the student a task or a goal to accomplish, and the learner accomplishes this, learning through the feedback.
MAKE
When learners produce something like a project task that the teacher must evaluate, the learners learn by production.
COLLABORATE
Think of this learning type as a combination of Make and Discuss; learners are grouped together and must produce a shared output. Concepts develop through the negotiation of their ideas and whatever they come up with, be it a report or a definition, or a diagram, must be something that they agree on.
Now that you know more about the 6 Learning Types, we invite you to reflect on the following questions in your Study Notebook:
Which Learning Types do I find myself using most often?
Which Learning Type/s is/are consistent with my philosophy of learning?
Which Learning Type do I want to learn more about?

The fourth part of the MISMO framework of Learning Experience Design is using Modular Steps to design the learning experience. The value of using Modular Steps lies in being able to design in blocks that you can move around instead of designing in a very strict, linear way.
In this activity, we invite you to recall the M-I-S worksheet that you answered in Module 1 as your anchor in building Modular Steps for a revised (or new!) Weekly Home Learning Plan.
Instructions:
Download your own copy of the Modular Steps slide deck (available in both Google Slides and PowerPoint). This slide deck comes with learning experience “blocks” that you can cluster and move around. This slide deck will serve as your Worksheet 1 for this module.
If you want to work offline (and do a little arts and crafts!), we’ve also attached a ready-to-print copy of Worksheet 1 and the learning experience blocks that you can print, cut out, write on, and stick onto Worksheet 1.

Feedback is a gift. It helps us grow and improve as educators. When we map out our learning experiences using modular steps, it can be easier to show your colleagues and get their thoughts. It can also be easier to make revisions if needed.
After redesigning your Weekly Home Learning Plans, we invite you to go back to your LAC Group and share the 6 Learning Types with them. After aligning on this understanding, you can share your revised learning plan and ask them to give you feedback on the learning experience you’ve designed.
The Roses, Thorns, and Buds framework is a handy framework for structuring feedback. The worksheet we’ve attached includes guide questions that you and your colleagues can use as you give and receive feedback.
