Autodidacticisms & Curiosities
What are Autodidacticisms?
They are the results of relentless curiosities.
In the spirit of William Shakespeare, I have invented a new word and would be thrilled if one day it is published in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary (online, of course).
An autodidact (a real word) is a person with profound or continuous commitment to self-education; the term comes from the Greek for "self-taught" ("auto" meaning self, and "didaktos" meaning taught).
Now you can imagine how this came to be.
The following projects are results of my curiosities and commitment to self-education.
My instructional designing is also an autodidacticism - a result of my relentless curiosities and finding solutions for problems; always asking "how" "why" "what" - the perfect questions for working alongside a Subject Matter Expert (SME)!
