The first idea that comes to mind when thinking about learner ownership of learning probably
goes something like this: the learner oversees their own process of learning. And that would be a
correct way to start thinking about this concept. However, there is much more to it that meets the
eye. Most people – educators or non-educators – would probably agree that the idea of taking
responsibility for one’s learning seems like such a serious undertaking. Doubts might rise about
that learner’s (whoever they may be) ability and qualification to assume that role. All of these are
fair points, in my opinion.
