This is the first of a series of five posts (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (forthcoming)) on self-directed learning. While I don't agree with everything in it (references to Hattie and to cognitive load leave me cold) I nonetheless found it a well-reserach and considered treatment of the subject. I especially appreciated the distinctuion between self-directed learning and the concept of self-regulated learning (that has been in vogue recently). "SDL involves the learner more in the design of the learning environment and its trajectory; whereas in SRL, outcomes and tasks are usually set by the teacher."
