Learning Styles

Learning Styles may help you identify the best practices in studying material in a course.  I use the term "study" loosely as many of our preconceived notions about studying are incorrect.  Our engagement with the material is really the key to how we retain it.  How we engage with the material outside of the instructional setting will determine how well we retain that new learning experience.

You can get an idea of your learning style here . You can also get results from the VARK questionnaire. Use both of these results to help identify strategies that might help you "study" the material.  There are an abundance of learning indices out there but the key is to get some strategies to help you with retention.

The handout I consolidated for Learning Styles can be downloaded here.  The learning style listed match the results from the first test but the "terms" have a basic equivalent on the VARK survey.

The Learning Strategies Handout I consolidated can be found here.  This aligns more with the VARK.

I have referenced these videos in previous posts but I will mention them again here.  They have some great tips for general study strategies.

These Next Videos are great on How to Get the Most out of your studying. There are five of these.
