If you're an educator or parent in a self-directed learning environment, I'd love to hear your stories. How do you currently document learning? What challenges have you faced in communicating the value of self-directed education?

These are the moments that matter. Yet they're often the hardest to document, communicate, and validate in a world that still largely measures learning through tests and worksheets.
