    information available as well as accelerated the pace of education. Nearly 75% of all high school seniors currently take at
    least one online course and e-learning is rapidly becoming a major component of instructional delivery in all major
    colleges and universities. Instructors now teach more in less time, while students are prepared to learn faster than
    ever before.

    We recognize that no two students are created equal and each of us has a unique learning style as unique as our
    DNA. Thus, the instructional design of our learning objects and online courses focuses on the research-based
    practice: everyone learns from a combination of eight different learning styles.

  • COURSE DEVELOPMENT

    Have you ever tried to learn something fairly simple, yet failed to grasp the key ideas? Have you tried to teach people
    and found that some of them were overwhelmed or confused by something quite basic?

    If so, you may have experienced a clash of learning styles: Your learning preferences and those of your instructor
    or audience may not have been aligned. When this occurs, not only is it frustrating for everyone, but it breaks the communication process and learning fails. By understanding these eight key learning styles, you can learn to create an
    environment in which everyone can learn from you, not just those who use your preferred style.

    Each chapter is blended into several types of learning styles. Reviewing each chapter in the following
    manner is essential in order to maximize your learning experience and fully take advantage of our blended
    learning platform.

    ► Review the keywords covered in the Chapter Content.

    ► After reading the passages, review the keywords and make sure to watch the
         Chapter Summary Video. The subject matter expert has covered the key areas from each chapter.
          Feel free to pause, rewind, take notes, and watch again.

    ►This exam requires a 70% score to pass, Once you feel that you have a solid understanding of the key            topics, select your chapter exam and move to the next chapter. On an average it takes new students 3
         attempts before achieving the minimum score. If you do not pass after your 3rd attempt, please go back
         into the chapter study materials and review the information.
