He came up with his own system of brain-based learning that focuses on 5 graduating skill sets: Assess, Introspect, Engage, Reflect, and Share. Two points that he reiterates often throughout his presentation are:
- Engagement is an emotional construct; a condition that binds
- Autonomy is necessary in the learning process as learners must take responsibility for their own learning in order for it to be successful. At first learners may fight the process but that's where it's important to have them make some sort of positive, emotional connection.
Here is the link to the PowerPoint slides from his presentation http://elearndevcon.com/downloads/webinars/JoeFournier_BrainBasedLearning.pdf. As a final example, I'd like to share a screen shot of an example of his process in action.
