Engage the optimal training mode for any learning style

[Guest KimBoey]

You’ve probably been told that each of us has a distinct learning style, whether it’s visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or logical (among others). Mounting research suggests that effective training in complex Microsoft technologies should offer its students a full spectrum of teaching modes that engage and accommodate a variety of learning styles for the best training experience. To do that, Microsoft Learning Partners tailor training experiences to accommodate diverse learning styles. Let’s take a look at how.

 

 

Visual instruction

 

Visual aids like diagrams, charts, and videos are essential to condense complex technical concepts. Microsoft Learning Partners bring topics visually to life through Hybrid learning. They can offer plans that combine traditional classroom training with online learning.

 

 

 

Auditory Instruction

 

Spoken word is the basic—and oldest—teaching mode. Microsoft Learning Partners combine personal experience with deep subject matter expertise to bring involved concepts to life for their students. Through workshops and lesson-based teaching students participate in discussions, listen to lectures, and ask questions.

 

 

 

Kinesthetic Instruction

 

Learning-by-doing is another teaching mode that’s proven essential over millennia, and Microsoft Learning Partners have it covered. Only authorized Microsoft Learning Partners provide exam preparation courses with interactive practice-and-repeat experience on the technology or process you need to learn.

 

 

Logical Instruction

 

Computer science is almost entirely based on logic. Microsoft Learning Partners know that their students require an ability not just to understand, but to demonstrate proficiency in the logical needs of coding, application usage, even IT management. No group of trainers is more qualified to deliver this than an authorized Microsoft Learning Partner.

 

 

Social Instruction

 

In the age of social media, learners have taken advantage of increased opportunities for collaborative learning that focuses on interaction with others, community forums, and crowd sourced answers. The social instruction that Microsoft Learning Partners enable adds a powerful source of interpersonal discussion, debate, and peer feedback.

 

 

 

No single teaching mode will fit all learning needs, topics, and situations. That’s why authorized Microsoft Learning Partners provide learners with a network of connections to other students with similar needs, goals, strengths, and styles. It presents a customizable training nexus for customized curricula that help them grow and develop as professionals in their style and at their pace.

 

 

 

A self-directed learning path built around your busy life and needs.

 

 

By incorporating all these different teaching methods and instructional materials, learners can follow their own unique learning path through self-directed learning. A self-directed learner is empowered to choose how they learn new skills or improve their existing abilities. Here are some of the benefits of self-learning:

 

 

 

• Flexibility to learn at your own pace and on your own schedule. Fit your learning around your life, rather than the other way around.
  
• Autonomy to choose what, how, and when you want to learn to take ownership of your learning and feel more invested in your progress.
  
• Customization of the learning experience to meet your individual needs, goals, and preferences with the right resources, tools, and materials.
  
• A cost-effective way to learn new skills without having to pay for tuition or travel expenses while learning from the comfort of your home or office.
  
• Lifelong learning to continually develop new skills and knowledge throughout your life, which can be particularly valuable in a rapidly changing job market.
  

 

 

 

Instructor-led learning for a guided training path.

 

 

While self-learning has its benefits, Microsoft Learning Partners also offer instructor-led training courses that can be thoughtfully blended with self-directed training paths and resources. This helps create a customized framework for advancement where learners receive:

 

 

 

• Expert guidance from instructors who often have years of experience in their industries and offer deep understanding of the subject matter.
  
• Structured learning to help you stay on track and make progress toward a comprehensive understanding of the topics that matter most to you.
  
• Interactive learning experiences that allow you to engage with and learn from other students as well as the instructor.
  
• Accountability to keep you motivated and committed to your learning goals through a schedule of regular classes, assignments, and deadlines.
  
• Networking opportunities with other students and professionals who share your interests and can help you build connections that can be valuable for your career.
  

 

 

 

Early or late, it’s always smart to get help from authorized Microsoft Learning Partners.
