Abstract

I continued for two weeks to engage prospective learners in deep communication. When we opened the doors to the Learning Centre in the third week, we had 32 students. Together, we created a programme that was learnercentred and generative: learners opted into the programme without coercion or recommendation; their programmes were developed individually, based on a careful needs assessment; the individual learning plans were kept confidential; and there was no reporting mechanism back to human resources or supervisors.
