Fitting the Pieces Together



I used to think that if we understood our learning style that we understood how to learn. I soon found out that is not the case there are many factors that influence the way we learn. All of these factors can be explained by the many different learning theories.

I have learned that it takes all of the theories in order to have a well rounded-developed course. You have to think of the many different theories and how to incorporate them into your courses. I am not saying that each assignment or assessment has to include each theory but if your overall course includes items that cover all of the learning theories then you will have a well-designed course.

Technology is the superhighway of distance learning. We rely on it heavily to provide information for our students either in the form of communication, research, assessments and assignments. Each of us has our own Personal learning network where we go to find the information we need. Our network continues to grow as technology continues to grow.

I thought that it was just one learning theory that I learned by but now I realize that I too am like most of my students, that is, I learn by all of the theories not just one.
