Published: March 24, 2020, 4 p.m.

This episode is part of the Learning Uncut Disruption series.\xa0 This pop-up daily series aims to equip learning professionals with practical guidance and tips to get started or scale up with practices needed as part of their organisational response to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Nick Shackleton-Jones is the author of How People Learn.\xa0 He developed the Affective Context Model as a general theory of how people learn.\xa0 In this episode he discusses the role of emotions in learning, going so far as to suggest that emotion is the process behind learning.\xa0 In a period of heightened emotion it\u2019s even more important to understand what matters to people \u2013 what their concerns really are.\xa0 He strongly recommends avoiding content dumping and using resources rather than courses to respond to people\u2019s concerns.
