Chapter 1: Preface: The Guided Learning System

Hello!

The Centre for Education and Work has designed a unique delivery system for on-line learning. This system allows you to navigate through text, videos, audio interviews, and pictures in the Working to Learn EBook.

The Guided Learner System (GLS) is an easy and user-friendly way to learn. As you go through the system, you may get prompted to download free software from the Internet. This software will allow you to view videos, listen to interviews, or look at pictures, all of which are an important part of the Working to Learn learning experience.

The Guided Learning System contains Learning Objects - text, audio clips, video clips, links to websites, maps and so on. The Learning Objects are memory devices, designed to help reinforce the lesson for the learner.

Learning Objects not only provide variety to written text. The Learning Objects in a Guided Learning System reinforce learning by directly connecting to the range of learning styles that exist among learners. Visual learners, auditory learners, even kinesthetic learners will find compatibility with their dominant learning style in the Working to Learn EBook.
