E-Learning Prerequisite: Take a Walk in the Woods

Posted in Education,Health,e-Learning by Chris Ammon on August 31st, 2011

I read in The Wall Street Journal about a study that says the best way to rest and rejuvenate a tired brain is to take a walk, in nature specifically. It’s better than a walk in the city and better than just relaxing with a cup of coffee.

Being in nature, the research shows, helps your brain get ready to pay attention and remember things, and that sounds like a perfect state of mind for learning, eh?

If you’re developing e-learning that really has to teach, as opposed to simply “check the box”, I’m thinking you might add, “take a hike” to the list of your course prerequisites!
