Introduction to Learning Styles
Course Description
Every person has a unique learning style. What is your learning style? Are you born with a style? Would you rather read something or be told about it? Do you like taking notes or would you prefer to practice something until it is learned? People think and learn differently. Most of us learned by one style – sitting in a classroom listening to lectures – but is that the best way for everyone? This course outlines different learning styles and illustrates how to design and deliver effective learning experiences that appeal to these styles. You’ll even have a chance to check out your own preferred styles!
