Landmark Education Forum Helping People Learn Contextually
Maven Mapper’s is continually on the hunt for better knowledge management theories and applications in education. After all how are you to manage knowledge if you do not obtain good information or learn a fundamental as it is.
The problem is that many people contextualize facts, events and information not for what the facts are but combined with their contextual view of the facts that may or may not be correct.
We have found a new sponsor in Landmark Education, and they offers a means to help people learn how to separate their contextual perspective from what actually happened. They provide seminars and courses to help people learn their learning process not in a conceptual way but in a practical and useful way that a student or attendee can take immediately out of the course and begin to apply.
They offer landmark courses to help individuals, companies, departments, schools, students and more how to apply this knowledge and start generating immediate benefits. landmark provides an excellent flash video that walks through these concepts.
Landmark Education is owened by Landmark Education Business Development (lebd) and they put on many international forums through their landmark forum platform.
I have a personal belief that to truly understand what you might get out of a course you have to see a good syllabus. The absense of a good syllabus is an indicator that you might not find what you are looking for, but the presence of a good syllabus is almost always an indicator that you will get something useful from your education.
I have briefly mapped out the full syllabus with my own subjective perspective, but would encourage you to see the full syllabus yourself.

Landmark is a very controversial group that has nothing to do really with education or managment
See this link before you exchange links. One should be very careful who you link with on your sites.

Thanks for the comment! I do welcome all perspectives on any story.
In this case I had not read the controversy surrounding the group under that acronym.
Above I reviewed their 3 and a half day training seminar, but had not heard of their 3 month seminar until I viewed your website.
I would not advocate three months of training with anyone other than an educational institution or a company you work for personally.
That said, I also think that people need to make those decisions for themselves, knowing that a decision up front may opt them out of decisions on the back end if they get brain washed. I served in the military so do understand the power of group motivational activities, even peer pressure verging on coercion.
I can not say that this group engages in any of these activities, but I would always recommend anyone to do as much research as possible before acting. Especially where money and your personal time is involved.
Quick Point, I found the site that you reference full of hundreds of articles and links, but very short on a description of what the real problem or contention is with Landmark.
I’d welcome feedback from anyone else that has any pro or con experience with the system, group, or materials.

I have participated in many Landmark Education programs and have found them to be a useful catalyst for restoring communication between myself and many people in my family as well as friends I care about. Simply put was able to see how much a love and appreciate the people in my life and for that matter people in general.
I do think that much of the negative discourse on the internet as it relates to Landmark is influenced by a small group of people who have a genuine and admirable desire to protect and help people, but in haste tend to label many ideas and organizations in the area of personal development and self improvment as dangerous.
Most of the people I have met through Landmark are kind hearted people who want to make a genuine difference for people regardless of what position or stance they have on any given issue.
Here is a simple example:
