Thanks for commenting. The deep learning concept is still something that I’m learning more about. To my mind, it strikes me as the educational application of flow as proposed by psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi.

Regarding learning in the workplace, I attended one session on that might be of interest. A librarian from Grant MacEwan University (Edmonton, AB) presented on an internal training program they introduced where staff observe each other and make a conscious effort to learn from different approaches. More specifically, this involved librarians observing how their co-workers taught information literacy sessions and skills to students.

The conference sounds really interesting.

I’m curious to learn more about “Deep Learning”.

Also, did anyone discuss how to approach learning in a professional (non-academic institution) context?
