Effective learning

Learning can seem really challenging. We all have our own strategies and ways of learning that we have naturally developed. Research shows that many students do not know and do not use the most effective strategies in their learning. The secret to effective learning is to understand how our memory works and how to use this knowledge to your advantage.

This course reveals the secrets of effective learning. We will learn scientifically proven learning strategies and bust myths about ineffective methods. We will learn to analyse our own learning process, our attitude to challenges and to ourselves. Learn more about motivation and time management.

By the end of this course, you will…

• Understand how people learn and distinguish effective learning strategies from ineffective ones;

• Use different learning strategies and principles to learn effectively;

• Explain how learning, memorisation, forgetting and recall take place;

• Know how creative thinking takes place;

• Analyse your own development and set learning goals;

• Have a positive attitude towards learning.
