It isn’t easy to think of many skills as important as the ability to learn. We all have this ability, but you can make your own learning — and that of your organisation — more effective by understanding some basic principles and applying the proven hints and tips that are to be found in the six modules of this course:

The following modules will be published over the coming weeks

1. Learning and Learning Processes
2. Learning Principles
3. Learning Preferences
4. Learning Strategies
5. Learning Environments
6. Learning Resources

Study the modules when you feel ready to. This is because we believe that there is an optimum pace for every learner — and that pace can change depending on circumstances. Today, you may be busy; tomorrow, you could have more time and be in a more receptive frame of mind for learning. And, of course, some modules are longer than others.

Demonstrating competence at one level before moving on to the next is one of the seven secrets of successful learning, which are covered in Module 2: Learning Principles.

Although you can only be responsible for your own learning, you may also have responsibility for encouraging students to lead their own learning or facilitating learning in your organisation. No matter which one, ‘Learning to Learn’ is the course for you.

As the course focuses on learning, it’s probably a good idea to spend a few minutes thinking about what learning and learning processes are — and this is exactly what we will do in Module 1.

“They know enough who know how to learn.”
Henry Adams (1838–1918)

Rather than having tests, this course provides prompts to help you reflect on and remember what you have learned.
