Learning How to Learn: Course Description
This course, which is taught through a series of readings and activities, can help students distinguish the difference between what one is learning and how it is being learned. By emphasizing an understanding of what happens to people when they learn, the course aims to enhance students' learning and increase their control over the process. The course, which includes readings and activities, indicates that two factors may influence one's approach to learning, motivation and a person's history of learning. Tips are given on the application of learning, and an analysis of each part of the process of learning how to learn is given. This includes preparation, exploration, implementation, and review. The approach to learning outlined in this course is also shown to apply to exams or any other type of assessment that's found within a learning environment such as a university. This course also explores the theme of 'reflective' learning, with tips on how to become a reflective learner.
The readings and activities are provided online free of charge, as is a list of further reading and sources of help. If you would like to take this course, visit the learning how to learn course page.
