Video: Study Skills for Adult Learners

Susan shares her own experience at a challenging technology seminar, and the strategies which helped her there. It’s a useful examination of study skills for adults.

She covers her strategies for before, during, and after instruction. The first step involves preparation: how to get basic knowledge that will allow you to learn by making active connections.

She discusses study skills for adult learners in the classroom or lecture hall, including note taking strategies and the tactics of “high gear learning.”

After the lesson it’s time to use strategies for review and retention. The note taking system used earlier comes in handy again here, as do friends studying the same material.
