The purpose of this module is to explore critical factors involved in learning to see how “vital” they are in different subjects and for various stages of any learning process.
Arrange the five topic strips you have created in order of most to least vital for good learning.

Arrange the five topic strips you have created in chronological order. Consider what happens first, second, next in the process of learning something.Write your conclusion
Identify any “vital” element that, in your opinion, is missing or mis-named. Add or change your topics accordingly.
Create a visual representation (model) to show how the topics work as a system where elements are related, interdependent, dependent, or work separately.
See sample models for this step.
Take a photo of your results.
Are the Vital Signs vital to ALL kinds of learning or only to certain stages of learning?
If you are new on a job or have moved to a new town or are encountering a new device for the first time, do the Vital Signs apply?
Find “Habits of a Systems Thinker” and “Health and Education Parallels and Paradoxes” in Resources for Extra-kudos. See if there are connections between those examples and the “Vital Signs of Learning Model” you have developed.
