Have you ever thought about what kind of learner you are? Under which circumstances do you acquire information the quickest and how do you retain it?
We all know that when it comes to gaining new skills and taking on board new concepts, we each have a style of learning that suits us best and allows us to learn most effectively. Just as some people prefer to start work at 5am and others would rather study late into the night, we all have ways of learning that help us pick things up more easily!
Broadly speaking, there are said to be three main types of learners: visual learners, who tend to have an easier time processing information they can see and read; auditory learners, who learn more easily through listening and speaking; and kinesthetic learners, who like practical activities.
Many people also find that they retain information more easily when their learning combines all three styles.
Whatever your preferences, we have a DSD course to suit you because they include combinations of audiovisual presentations, hands-on workshops and interactive lectures. Bottom line, DSD can meet your education needs regardless of your ideal learning style, in your ideal space, at your chosen pace and in your own time.
Where does DSD Online Education fit in?
Did you know that as well as our in-person courses, we also have a dedicated online learning platform?
