In this fascinating episode, University of Montana Western's Bethany Blankenship talks to us about learning to learn and study effectively on the Block. Bethany provides an enlightening insight into important aspects of successful study on the Block, including time management, trust, leadership, and self-assessment and reflection to name but a few. Bethany also provides some important insights into the importance of building learning communities, collaboration and providing regular actionable feedback to learners as critical supports to their success on the Block. This is a must listen for anyone with an interest in Block learning, teaching and assessment.
