Course Description

Welcome to this e-learning course developed and produced by Dr Neil Thompson and hosted by Udemy. Neil is a well-published author in the people professions field, an international conference speaker and sought-after consultant.
The overall aim of this course is to help you broaden and deepen your understanding of what is involved in learning, what can prevent it from happening and what you can do to maximize your learning. Learning is part of everyday life and something we are very familiar with. But, that does not mean that we are making the most of the learning opportunities we encounter. Indeed, it is fair to say that, despite the emphasis on the importance of learning, relatively few people achieve optimal learning. This is because we can be so focused on getting our job done that we don't leave room for drawing out the learning from our daily experience. This course has been developed to help you understand what is involved in learning, how learning can be blocked and what can be done to make sure that you learn as much as you reasonably can. The course comprises a short introductory video followed by six main lessons, a concluding video and certificate of completion. It is best if you follow the course in the set order, as each lesson builds on the previous ones. From time to time you will be directed to your Module Companion E-book. You will need to download this from Lecture 2 and print it out. It will then be very useful for you (a) to take notes to consolidate your learning as you progress through the program; and (b) to undertake the exercises that are a core element of the course. Please ensure that you have a printed copy of the Module Companion E-book available before you commence Lesson 1. The course is roughly equivalent to a full day's study, but can be completed in your own time and at your own pace; you don't have to complete it all in one go. Leave the course and come back to it whenever you like. We very much hope you find this course not only interesting but also of practical benefit in maximizing your learning! Who this course is for:
Anyone interested in improving their ability to learn can benefit from this course. So, whatever your occupation or background, whether you are interested for personal or professional reasons, this course will have much to offer you.

This course highlighted a lot of the issues I have with learning so thank you for your teachings.

By Katalin Hliva on 9/11/2019

A very informative course about learning and learning theories.

By Sioned Phillips on 9/25/2018

Very informative and straight forward. Easy to follow with great advice. Neil is great at teaching in a way thats very easy to understand and breaks things down in a way that will help you remember them. I found this very helpful for learning how to get the best out of studying in the future.

Professionally presented. Valuable content

By Jasmine Brown Samuels on 4/18/2018

The exercises helped me gain a better understanding of my motivates for learning and the ways in which I apply my knowledge.

Going over what I already know but good reminder

By Steinar Heskestad on 8/20/2017

interesting

By Kevin Bradbury on 7/27/2017

I learned many really good concepts from this course that I want to further investigate but the delivery of the course is dryly academic. It could really stand to have some more dynamic visual content to go with the lectures. I've taken several "learning to learn" sort of courses and this one has the best conceptual content but the least engaging presentation.

By Luis Antonio Aceves De la Rosa on 1/10/2017

Its not interactive, its mono, its so 1992-ish

By Eyet El Eslem HNIA on 10/26/2016

I was happy to reconnect to the English language in a learning context. The pace of the lectures and the fluence of the lecturer made it a very enjoyable experience.
And for me, the fifth lesson was the favorite as it showed me clearly some of my actual enemies as a learner and confirmed to me some very negative habits that are frightful when it comes to learning.
Thank you very much !

By Marudut Bernadtua Simanjuntak on 10/11/2016

great to know these! TQ avenue

By Carolyn Ward on 10/9/2016

If you want a better understanding of learning, it is by far the best. I have been teaching 45 years and it taught me some new things about learning. Much that didn't exist when I was in college taking teaching courses. Great Tks!
