Where has this week gone? Adonde Va?
It is Saturday already!!! This week has flown by. I have almost completed my Spanish Steps Online Course and I have to admit I have enjoyed the experience. As I have been working my way through the lessons and reflecting on the experience I have become more aware of my learning style. A couple of weeks ago, when I completed the VARK questionnaire in class it concluded that I had a multi-modal learning style.
Apparently this learning style accounts for about 60% of the population, so it certainly is not to be ignored when looking at program design. People who fit into this learning style generally use a combination of learning styles, switching their learning styles to suit the learning project.
During my experience with the online Spanish course I have noticed that I have enjoyed the variety of ways the information has been presented. When learning the oral Spanish I have found the interactive video and conversations very rewarding. However, when it comes to learning vocab and rules of grammar I prefer to write down the words and rules. This process seems the reinforce my learning and I can recall the vocab and grammar more clearly. Another good resource on multi-modal learning style is an article written by Neil Fleming in September 2007 Multimodality
