Hi Kristine: I've commented many times I think the culinary field offer an excellent example of the many ways senses can aid instruction. Yet, involving multiple senses in just about any class will improve learning and help retain needed information. Even students at home studying can benefit. For instance, if it's not a distraction, while studying, a student could: * put soft music on in the background * Sip some tea, coffee, or preferred beverage (non-alcoholic) * Sit in a comfortable chair, feet up (or stetched out) * Read aloud, recite, rehearse, practice - hear the information by the student's own voice) These things would be difficult or awkward to do in the classroom, but easy at home. Every strategy that works ought to be tried. Regards, Barry
