If you want to help other people to learn and develop then it makes sense to understand how to be an effective learner yourself. It looks at a range of ways in which people learn and helps you to think through which learning styles you prefer. The second half will give you very practical hints on brushing up your study skills and on getting the most from open learning if this is the route you have chosen.
