We all think we know how to learn, but many of the people I know have actually forgotten the skill involved. No one who is preparing to write or speak can afford to not be good at learning.

Some years ago, I wrote a piece for some of my colleagues and clients called ‘Learning to Learn‘. It was my own views on the learning process. it was very well received and most people who read it felt it helped them. I’ve posted the document as a PDF for anyone who’d like to read it. I’m working to revise it right now for online learning since I teach classes through the Connecticut Long Distance Learning Center (CTDLC). The advice though doesn’t go out of date. Even before the update, it still is practical advice for learning.

NOTE: Learning is a very individual thing. There is no one right way to learn that covers everyone. Use these ideas as suggestions, but adapt them as you need to to be effective.
