Isn't all learning in the brain?

quote:
Capella University's new online Master of Education in Teaching and Learning program is designed around the latest teaching practices, including brain-based learning and growth mindsets, to help meet the needs of teachers today.

This LinkedIn message came to me - "...including brain-based learning?" Isn't all learning brain-based? What else might they mean?

Well, of course that is motor learning. That wasn't what this master's program was about.

Ah. Makes sense based on that Language Log post (pilotless drones). I just think when you are marketing a master's program on LinkedIn, you use better wording.
