A more guided approach may be applicable. For these students a more direct instructional approach addressing independent learning skills would seem appropriate. The more experienced learner may perform better in learner-centered programs. This may take the form of participation in proactive experiments, simulations, role-playing, small group interactions, group problem solving and a host of other activities. When the learner is learning alone, resources should be structured so as to demand activity from the learner.
Technology can be of assistance.
In a distance learning environment, providing a combination of demonstration, description and activity assists in addressing different learning styles. In other settings, it is desirable to provide a range of learning methodologies to enable learners to experience their preferences. Place independent learning occurs when the learner can use learning materials or technology wherever he or she may be, rather than having to attend a particular place. Classroom teaching is place dependent while distance learning uses a variety of instructional formats. Some forms of distance learning may be place dependent such as a particular site or location where the technology is located.
