Balance Digital with Analogue - for both Performance, as well as Rest, Recuperation, Resilience and to Re-charge

(for Performance = to maintain, and sustain; to improve Performance)

Balance both Digital, with Analogue.

Fast, with Slow.

Online, with in-person. A physical book. Pen and paper.

Reduce "cognitive-load"

Close your eyes. Focus on your breathing.

Stand up and stretch. Take a walk.

Have a chat with a close friend, colleague, family.

Go for a walk.

Listen to music.

Use a different part of your brain.

Take a "nap". Physical or mental.

Think daily, weekly, and monthly-seasonal cycles (particularly when planning major "projects" - work related, family, and personal).

Travel. Locally or further (if possible). Physically or Mentally. Through your imagination, images, videos. Your personal past journeys, of shared journeys online, or published in analogue formats. On paper.

Have both an on-switch .... and use the "off-switch". Regularly.

The Role of Educators, and the 'Environment' in Supporting and Facilitating Learning

Successful learning in students, and novice practitioners (and in later professional practice) is governed by a complex interplay of internal, and external factors. These include intrinsic motivation, and external course demands (think preparation for upcoming class discussion, with credit for quantity and quality of 'live class contribution', whether in-person physical classrooms, or online; scheduled assignments to be submitted, upcoming assessments and examinations ... or in the workplace later, being scheduled to present at a department, or 'C suite level' or board meeting; present a topic review to peers; preparing a conference workshop or symposium; or invited keynote presentation). Educators and the 'Environment' have roles in facilitating, supporting, and guiding successful learning. Think 'coaching', 'mentoring', 'tutoring', 'inspiring'; designing online learning environments and activities; thoughtful and effective user interface design of online learning spaces; facilitation of social, team based, and 'network learning' and collaboration, both online, and though design and selection of physical spaces that students spend time in. Building up 'digital literacies', in both students and faculty (through faculty development). Using learning science, and a broad understanding of all relevant evidence, to shape the learning environment, to produce optimal performance. Using a sporting analogy, and from other fields of human endeavour, consider how successful athletes, musicians, chefs, writers, and performance artists are 'produced' and 'made'.
