Learning from experience is our primary source of learning outside of learning directly or indirectly from others.

What are the different type of experiences (Positive, Negative, Experiments, Learning by doing). Is there a correlation between the type of experience and what can be learned from it. Could/should we cause some experience to happen, how. Are there best practices to learn more from experience and while limitating negative side effects on our lives (failing forward for example). How to retain what we learned ? Is sharing our experiences a good option ?

In this chat we focus on going behind the surface what it means to learn from experience. The experience itself don’t need to be endured and unpleasant to be effective. It can even be enjoyable as some of us can recall from learning (by doing) cooking or gardening from parents or peers. In the past companionships was the prefered way to acquire an art. It combines both learning from peers and gaining practical experience of it. Some types of Knowledge Tacit) could be better fit for Learning by experience or is it a myth. Tacit intensive knowledges comes to our mind like Cooking, stonecutting come in our minds but what about learning to write (last week topic) ? You can definitely learn to write by listening, meeting authors but you will rarely see them actually writing. PKMChat being about Personal Knowledge Management encompass Knowledge lifecycle in general. As usually week after weeks we will switch from one end of the lifecycle to another while exploring all the channels that could be used: social, formal, writing, videos. Feel free to suggest topics by tweeting to @pkmchat.
