Learning is More Than Collating Information
Learning is a process in which information is explored and processed in different ways and contexts.
Learning can be supported by an educator who can explain a subject well and use teaching strategies that really work. Embedding new information can be tricky, but with the right help, we can all learn something new.
Some courses are quick to complete, that is true. Though, can we know that authentic learning occurred? Possibly not.
To permanently improve what you can do and how you do it, commit to a course with guidance from capable teaching staff. Learning takes time.
