The last couple assignments have very interesting, I did not realize there are so many ways to learn that have been research and documented. But the most interested concept is the Pod Cast learning article I read. This article uses Pod Casting series to teach Chinese to English students for free. If this type of technology is helpful and has positive results then it will be interesting to see if the same concept can be used not just languages but possibly math, science, history, business, medical subjects, and even engineering principals.

I have always wonder why college education was so different from high school.
After reading about adragogy and pedagogy I know the pivotal difference. It
really is the way professors teach their students. In K-12 most teachers used
the teacher directed experience approach for learning new subject matter. In
the world of higher education, the practical task orientated approach is used.
The professor’s expect you as a student to read and research your studies more
own your own. For me this was the biggest adjustment I had to make. But that
understand the point and the logical behind it; i feel like I will also be a
better student for it.

At first I did not see the point of taking these learning style tests. But, I realize that our readings have been geared toward creating and designing training tutorials; and knowing the different ways people learn is very useful.

I did not think there was so much a person could write about teaching people how to learn. But I liked the instructional cycle, it really does break things down. What I liked the most is the stress upon assessing what is needed to be learned so you don’t waste time.
