They should learn how to guide themselves through new challenges. That’s where heutagogy, or self‑determined learning, comes in.

Not just self-directed by self-determined!

At Mt Hutt digital we are all about giving learners control. Instead of being told exactly what to learn and how to learn it, learning is co-designed with learners who are encouraged to explore, make decisions, ask questions, and discover their own path. It builds confidence, problem‑solving skills, and the ability to adapt, exactly what’s needed when building capability for an ever changing working environment!

Why it matters now more than ever

Industries shift, technology evolves, and job roles are constantly reinvented. The people who succeed aren’t those who memorise the most—they’re the ones who can figure things out when the answers aren’t clear. 

How we bring it to life at Mt Hutt Digital

• Problem‑based learning at the core
  Instead of presenting information first, we start with real‑world problems. Learners investigate, test ideas, and work through challenges—building capability through discovery rather than instruction.
• Real‑world scenarios
  Interactive stories, scenarios, and simulations help people learn by doing, and experimenting in "safe to fail" environments.
• Reflection built in
  We encourage learners to think about how they learn, what they believe in and value and how that impacts the way they learn and grow, not just what they learn. That’s where real growth happens.
• Technology used to empower, not overwhelm
  Microlearning, mobile‑friendly design, just in time learning, and interactive tools give learners space to explore at their own pace.
• Non linear learning
  Life, like learning is not a straight line, the old school "ladder to the top" is a thing of the past now learning that really prepares learning to succed in an ever changing world needs to be flexible, iterative, and bend, shift, and adapt as people grow, change direction, and discover new possibilities.

Future‑ready learning

Our goal is simple: build learning experiences that help people become curious, capable, and confident, ready for whatever comes next. Whether it’s a new job, a new tool, or a brand‑new challenge, learners who understand how to guide their own learning, problem solve and adapt in a changing environment are always one step ahead.
