Welcome back to The Learning Curve! Your monthly peek into what’s new, what’s next, and what’s actually working in the world of learning.
In this month's edition:
How curiosity, inclusion, and the drive to learn are shaping the future of education and work.
Why handwriting your notes might be the key to staying focused and remembering more.
What happens when we combine artificial and emotional intelligence, and how it will shape the future of learning.
Let's get learning!
💬 What we’re talking about
“When you watch a kid of any age discover something new, they light up and they want more of it.”
In this special episode of the Moodle Podcast, Moodle’s Shalimar Anderson speaks with three of this year’s MoodleMoot Global keynote speakers: Dr. Naeema Pasha, Scott Anderberg, and Marie Achour. Together, they explore the future of learning and work, the role of curiosity, and how education can stay human in the age of AI.
The episode dives into how learning empowers people to navigate change, with a focus on confidence, inclusion, and the role of curiosity in shaping a more human future.
In the podcast, our speakers explored the meaning of 'Lifelong Learning' and how it keeps us curious, adaptable, and engaged. At work, it can boost confidence, spark creativity, and create a stronger sense of purpose. Sometimes, all it takes is the right moment, or the right mindset, to be inspired to learn something new.
When was the last time you felt truly inspired to learn something new at work?
"What does AI plus EI look like? As we shape the future with technology, what happens to our emotional intelligence, and how do we make sure it’s part of the equation?"
At MoodleMoot Global 2025, we’ll be asking big questions about the human-AI relationship—questions like this one, posed by keynote speaker Dr Naeema Pasha. It's part of a broader conversation on how learning must evolve to remain not just relevant, but deeply human.
From redefining education’s purpose to exploring how curiosity, creativity and connection will shape the next era of learning, this year’s event is for anyone thinking seriously (and hopefully) about what comes next.
Have you ever typed out pages of notes only to forget everything by the next day? You’re not alone—and the science behind it is fascinating.
This article from Research.com breaks down how paper note-taking improves memory, focus, and comprehension compared to digital alternatives. It turns out the slower, tactile act of handwriting forces our brains to process and filter information more deeply. While digital tools offer speed and convenience, paper still wins when it comes to learning that sticks.
Read the article and find out why reaching for pen and paper might give your productivity a surprising boost.
