Have you ever wondered why you have difficulty learning from a particular instructor, whereas another seems to explain things in just the right way? Did you ever question why the course that your friend said was so easy turned into a struggle for you? Do you notice that you and your roommate have different opinions on whether or not to have the radio on while you're studying? The reason behind some of these discrepancies may be differences in learning styles!
Learning Styles--A More Detailed View
This is a career-building site, but provides both a self-assessment and detailed information about many types of learning styles.
Learn How to Learn More Effectively
Learning to Learn is self-guided 10 week course designed to raise learners' awareness of the cognitive and metacognitive aspects of thinking and learning. With this knowledge, learners are better able to understand:
1. How their minds work
2. How different people approach learning tasks in different ways
3. What strategies will work best for them
4. How to successfully adapt their abilities for tasks that fall outside their profile of strengths
With this knowledge, learners develop an attitude toward learning that includes curiosity, motivation, and a drive to learn more.
