"Learning- even "self-directed learning"- is an inherently social activity.
The Open Master's is a global community of small groups for self-directed learners, offering each other the structure, accountability, relationships, and sense of forward direction that are often hard to find outside formal programs and institutions.
These groups are using and building on an open source framework of shared practices to help us:
Master the art of social, self-directed learning
Be more intentional about our learning journeys
Take bolder risks in our journeys of becoming
Discover and share our unique gifts
Ensure that our short-term learning goals feed into our longer-term vision for transformation for ourselves and the world
We invite any existing community, organization, or even groups of friends or colleagues to use the Open Master's framework to make their own learning process more intentional. You can do that simply by:
Mapping out a personal plan or curriculum, including a clear statement of purpose and some intentions for your own learning journey, and sharing them on a personal website or blog
Bringing the rhythm of semesters back into your life, including regular opportunities for evaluation and reflection
Developing deeper relationships with study buddies, mentors, and advisers
Starting an Open Master's group with a clear commitment to study together, support each other, and share your work
Offering a presentation or organizing a study group on a topic that interests you
Maintaining a portfolio of learning projects (including professional work) you've completed and reviewed with peers and mentors
We also invite you to link up with the broader global community of Open Master's groups by joining regional or global events to spotlight members, mix with members across groups, and cross-pollinate ideas or strategies that are working in different contexts."
