Practical examples sometimes spring up a perfect times. I just posted two blank messages after entering the subject "Learning Styles" and hitting the enter key on my keyboard. Through the process of learning by trial and error, I was reminded that I needed to hit the tab key. I promise I'm not making this up:) Okay, so now onto my post about learning styles. Firstly, I read a couple of other posts in this modulee forum indicating that Module 4 contained the most useful information of the course; I agree. Not so much in terms of "new" information, but in terms of information that works its way out of our consciousness over time. As related in one of my first posts, I rely primarily on lecture for content delivery, and I learned long ago that to be effective as a lecturer, you must be part orator, academic, comedian, actor, etc. What I have apparently forgotten is that learning styles do vary greatly and that lecture just doesn't cut it for some. I suppose that I have not forgotten this entirely since I still use video resources, power-point presentations and other delivery methods, but rather, I have forgotten why I do so, in terms of structuring content delivery to meet the various learning styles of my students. This "re-discovered" knowledge has given me the idea that I will have students fill out a short,simple, learning style self-assessment at the beginning of each term. It will read: I believe that I learn best by: Hearing Reading Watching Doing and maybe another choice or two. I will then ask them to rate these in order of greatest ability to learn- 1-4 (or 5 or 6) I can then balance my delivery methods based on the greatest needs of the class. Thanks for a great idea.
