Brain-based Guideline #2

Neurons that fire together

wire together.

What does this brain-based guideline tell us about

the way people learn in the virtual classroom?

Neurons Firing Together

• Increase multi-modal sensory learning

• Create context

• Begin with what the learner

already knows

• Use stories and metaphors

Marine Debris

• There are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic

debris in the ocean.

• 269,000 tons of plastic float on the

surface.

• 100,000 marine creatures a year die

from plastic entanglement.

• 1 million seabirds die each year

Brain-based Guideline #4

Social learning

fires mirror neurons.

Social Learning

“People learn from one another, sometimes without even realizing that

they are doing so. With the increasing shift from face-to-face meetings and

events to virtual and digital formats, careful thought must be given to how

we build human interaction into learning solutions.”

The Maritz Institute

Emotions

“There can be no

knowledge without

emotion….To the cognition

of the brain must be added

the experience of the soul.”

Arnold Bennett

Brain-based Guideline #5

Failure precedes success.

Goldilocks Rule

netspeedlearning.com 38© 2018 NetSpeed Learning Solutions. All rights reserved.

What are the implications

of this brain-based rule in our

virtual classroom designs?

No Pain. No Gain.

netspeedlearning.com 39© 2018 NetSpeed Learning Solutions. All rights reserved.

1. Learners learn best when they attempt to solve a difficult problem first

before gaining new insights.

2. Without some stress or discomfort, learning is likely to occur.

3. Adults enjoy failing in front of their peers.

4. Too much stress or discomfort shuts down learning.

5. A virtual facilitator needs to create a safe space for people to try out

new skills.
