On_Line_Course_Learning_Styles

Whole Learning Approach® for my Courses (classroom courses and on-line)

Bring participants up to the 3^rd Level of Learning (facilitate a process to allow them to know enough so they know what questions to ask and what specific knowledge to seek - not to make them expert in all areas). This model involves teaching pedagogy utilizing a combination of Bloom's Taxonomy (six thinking skills) and Howard Gardner's Intelligences (seven intelligences), as related to learning styles.

I removed redundancies among cells, and have evolved the matrix as follows, for use in all of my classes:

In my courses, I utilize activities that cover a broad spectrum of matrix cells. This provides pedagogy (andragogy) that appeals to various learning styles and intelligence levels.
