Here’s an overview of the Learning ebook content:
Chapter 1- How people learn?
Understand the theory that underpins learning. When you understand how different people learn in different ways, you can then start to see how a course may be suitable for someone. Some people may learn better through an experiential or problem based learning course, while others may be suited to a competency based training style of course. Some may learn better through self paced home study; while others may be better in a classroom.
Chapter 2- What to Learn?
There is little point in studying things you don’t need to learn nor have the capability or desire to learn. Sometimes you may need to learn things you do not particularly want to learn; but there comes a point at which making the right choices about what you learn, will become critical to learning successfully.
Chapter 3- Why Learn?
The world is continually changing; and people need to adapt to change; and adaptation requires continuous learning throughout your entire life.
Chapter 4- How to Learn Successfully?
This chapter reveals a wealth of practical ideas and tips for learning; everything from different ways to memorize facts through to creating the right physical learning environment. It helps you understand and set achievable goals and shows you ways to better manage your study time, and prepare for exams.
