Real World Learning vs The Luxury Library

RWL creates value addition in academics & practical learning. Authentic learning is real life learning. It is a style of learning that encourages students to create a tangible, useful product to be shared with their world. Once an educator provides a motivational challenge, they nurture and provide the necessary criteria, planning, timelines, resources and support to accommodate student success. The teacher becomes a guide on the side or an event manager, a facilitator not a dictator. Processes become the predominant force and the content collected is organized appropriately into portfolios. Authentic learning engages all the senses allowing students to create a meaningful, useful, shared outcome. They are real life tasks, or simulated tasks that provide the learner with opportunities to connect directly with the real world. Instead of vicariously discussing topics and regurgitating information in a traditional industrial age modality, authentic learning provides a learner with support to achieve a tangible, useful product worth sharing with their community and their world. Our greatest shortcoming in education these past few years has been to ignore the brain research that is richly available to us that affirms that implementing multi-sensory activities, pursuing meaningful tasks, exploring a variety of skills with real world applications is optimal learning and that it needs to be practiced regularly.

The Luxury Library is an educational platform designed to provide students with a deeper understanding of luxury brands as well as access to the latest news, insights and trends on the luxury market and customer. With access to an extensive luxury archive, students can customize and curate what information they receive, relevant to their interests or area of study. Our video series provides insights from multiple generations of c-suite executives and content specifically designed and produced for each school. The chat feature allows students from the same college or university to communicate directly with each other and with executives who are interested in providing mentoring opportunities. The mission of The Luxury Library is to preserve the best of the history, heritage and culture of the luxury industry for the next generation.
