What is your learning style?discover your learning styleRaja Achanta
Each person has different learning style. Every person has learn with completely different style. Each
person has different learning. Some may find they even have a dominant learning style. Most of the
person say they have learning styles in different circumstances.
Have you ever studied with a friend, but then your friend did much better on the test? Have you ever sat through a lesson plan in class, and even though you tried to pay attention, you didn\'t remember as much as your friend did? Not everyone learns the same way. The way you studied or the way the lesson was taught might be right for your friend, but not for you. And if you studied a different way, you may find the learning process easier. This workshop will give you the tools to effectively identify your learning style and apply it towards improving your study skills.
A presentation created to teach a WittSim class (all freshman class at Wittenberg University) about different learn styles. I lead and facilitated conversations about how these learning styles could help students both academically and socially
The Visual-Auditory-Kinaesthetic learning styles model or 'inventory', usually abbreviated to VAK, provides a simple way to explain and understand your own learning style (and learning styles of others).
'Learning style' should be interpreted to mean an individual mixture of styles. Everyone has a mixture of strengths and preferences. No-one has exclusively one single style or preference.

Leveraging Your Learning Style & Effective Study Strategies
Do you know how you learn best?
Your learning style is the way you prefer to learn. It doesn't have anything to do with how intelligent you are or what skills you have learned. It has to do with how your brain works most efficiently to learn new information. This workshop will focus on helping you identify your own learning style and show you how to develop learning strategies that work for you so you can create a customized approach to achieving academic success.
Many people recognize that each person prefers different learning styles and techniques. Learning styles group common ways that people learn. Everyone has a mix of learning styles. Some people may find that they have a dominant style of learning, with far less use of the other styles.
The Four Learning Styles
The following information goes into detail about the VARK learning styles, how to recognize these styles in learners and how to integrate the style into classwork. It is good to remember that not all learners fit exactly into one category. There is often overlap in learner preference when it comes to style, especially across subject matter and activity.
1. Visual Learning
Recognizing visual learners: The visual learners in your classroom like to see and observe the things that they are learning about. Visual learners like to use pictures, diagrams and written directions to access information. This learning style has also been known as “spatial.” The students who are visual or spatial learners might draw, make lists or take notes in order to interact with and process information.
Supporting visual learners: Some of the more traditional styles of teaching support visual learners, such as whiteboards or projecting information onto a screen. Assignments could ask learners to make pictures or diagrams. In addition, providing class notes or handouts that students can follow along with are a great way to integrate visual learning into your curriculum. Visual learners may have a tough time with lectures and could need more time to process information that they hear auditorily.
2. Auditory Learning
Recognizing auditory learners: The auditory learners in your class learn best by listening and relating information to sound. These are students who prefer listening to a lecture or a recording rather than taking written notes. They may also be students who think out loud and speak through a concept in order to dive into it. Your auditory learners are most likely your most vocal students in class. They may also be the ones who read out loud to themselves. Auditory learners often repeat what a teacher has said to process what the directions are.
Supporting auditory learners: Including a lot of time for discussion can support the auditory learners in your classroom. They want to hear what others have to say and share their own ideas in order to learn and process information. When you are giving a lecture, ask auditory learners to repeat what they have learned back to you. Call and response or question-and-answer processes can also benefit auditory learners. In addition, auditory learners appreciate watching videos about a topic and listening to audiobooks or recordings.
3. Reading/Writing Learning
Recognizing reading/writing learners: This learning style is often confused with visual learning because reading/writing learners like to learn using the written word. This may seem like visual learning, but reading/writing preference learners can be discerned as those who express themselves through writing. They also enjoy reading articles and writing in diaries or journals. Your reading/writing learners may be experts with search engines and even old-school encyclopedias. They hunger for knowledge that they gather through reading.

In order to foster the academic skills development of students at all levels of academic ability and to increase student learning and retention, Northeast Center faculty and academic support collaborated to design innovative approaches which integrate in-person academic support into credit-bearing studies. As a result, we have developed several embedded academic support models using learning and peer coaches to assist students in their acquisition and enhancement of writing skills, academic research strategies and content area knowledge. This presentation will explore the ways in which we have embedded academic support into two different study groups, highlighting the benefits for both faculty and students, and examine lessons learned. Our intention with the presentation is to bring the audience into this conversation, sharing the models we use for our peer coach training and embedded academic support approaches. Participants will be asked to reflect on their own centers and take away ideas for how they might adapt these models to start/enhance their own embedded academic support efforts.
Planning & Writing Your Rationale Essay
Rationale Essay? Are you unsure of how to begin and what to include?
Designing your own degree plan is difficult; writing about that plan is even harder. Thinking about your degree plan as your resume & the rationale essay as your cover letter is the approach we take in this workshop that will introduce you to the steps & strategies necessary to complete the most unique piece of writing that you will do at ESC .

As a result, we have developed several embedded academic support models using learning and peer coaches to assist students in their acquisition and enhancement of writing skills, academic research strategies and content area knowledge. This presentation will explore the ways in which we have embedded academic support into two different study groups (writing and history) – highlighting the benefits for both faculty and students – and examine lessons learned. Our intention with the presentation is to bring the audience into this conversation, sharing the models we use for our peer coach training and embedded academic support approaches. Participants will be asked to reflect on experiences in their own centers and take away ideas for how they might adapt these models to enhance their own embedded academic support efforts.
