Hi Jeremy, I think there is something around non-linear learning here. And TW is ideally suited to this. I especially like using a pre-release to play about with.
The "difficult-to-get" bits of a domain for a learner are obvious to the master. I read something on the WEF website [1]. It mentions cognitive flexibility... Learning things via different routes is the key to cognitive flexibility (as i understand it) Here my "learning journey" (a dreadful term) starts with copying and adapting. Then I ran into a problem which exposed some misunderstandings and lack of knowledge of the nuances of some of the basics. Sometimes I try to get around problems knowing that there is something to learn. The difficulties arise when the categories famously classed as "unknown unknows". Learning with a pre-release TW -- when you link and tag, and cut-and-paste bits of pre-existing text -- can help non-linear learning. !! Adventure Playground of Hypertext? "An alternative educational approach informed by cognitive flexibility is hypertext <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext>" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_flexibility A tweet <https://twitter.com/100CreweRoad/status/908625844364627968> sparked an ananolgy via Pattern Languages. A messy pre-release -- "an Adventure Playground [2] of Hypertext" -- is how I use the pre-releases. I know I can get one at any time, play about and nothing is going to get damaged. All the materials and documentation is there. All the answers are within! The joy of the self contained!
