RESEARCH & TEACHING

The Six Key Principles of Learning. How is it that we can learn most quickly and efficiently? What should we be studying now to help create a successful future, for ourselves and for society? In this talk Marcus shares his philosophy of teaching and learning. This understanding combines the science of learning with his long personal experience as a futurist, teacher and learner.

What you Need to Know about the Future. In this talk Marcus shares his understanding of Futures Studies, and what he now understands as a futurist to be the most important things we need to prepare for as the future unfolds, especially in regard to what we teach and learn now. The talk emphasizes that it is not just about predicting and preparing for the probable future that is important, but being able to adapt to things that are unexpected.
