Just for me


An object-orientated approach can help in making sure that individual learners get the right training to meet their job requirements, but can it help in delivering the learning in the right way, the way that suits their personal preferences? Buttress: “We’ve conducted some research this year to find out how it is that people learn best. What we found is that, whilst many learners prefer a bottom-up approach, learning step-by-step before attempting any practical assignments, others prefer to go top-down. These learners were presented with a series of real-world tasks that they could get stuck into straight away. When they needed help, they could turn to a variety of forms of support, such as books, mentors, e-learning modules. For the right learners this approach proved highly successful and, although it took a little longer, the learners were actually faster and more accurate than those receiving traditional training.”

Logilent is another training provider that appreciates how important it is to recognise individual differences. Graham Shenton is Managing Director for EMEA: “We realised that we needed a multi-sensory approach to cater for different learning styles. We provide students on our accreditation courses with a wide variety of ways of approaching the subject – texts, CD-ROMs including video and other media, lab exercises that allow learners to remotely work with the target hardware and software, learning communities and mentoring. There is a large amount of redundancy in that the same material is covered in many different ways, but we know that our learners differ widely in the approaches that they prefer. As a result our completion rates are much higher than average and 92% of those who take their exams pass.”
