Recognizing learning challenges is very important in teaching process. These challenges include learning disabilities that refer to difficulties to process information. Also issues with comprehension, application of content, etc. I usually work with student services department where I get help and suggestion on how to accommodate students with disabilities. It is well known that people have different learning styles and if a person has learning disability, it is more imperative that these differences are met and considered during the learning process. If I get a student with learning disabilities in my class, I try to design instructions in a way that they are easy to follow, make them visual, prepare concept maps, etc.
It was very interesting to learn from this module that use of rubrics, which I do in my classes, is one of the methods of holistic assessment. I personally like rubrics since they assess qualitatively.
