Synopsis

This book focuses on the 'learning' in Accelerated Learning. It provides over 200 ideas and activities for putting theory into practice. ACCELERATED LEARNING: A User's Guide answers the following questions: In what ways are today's learners different from their predecessors? What is Accelerated Learning? Can Accelerated Learning be used in any learning situation? Will Accelerated Learning actively engage learners? Is there a smarter way to mark and set homework? How does Accelerated Learning link to thinking skills? How do I use the new technologies? ACCELERATED LEARNING: A User's Guide supplies the solid background to make learning happen. The authors have used their combined experience to write an accessible guide to the Accelerated Learning method based on their own successes. Their message is 'Take the ideas and turn them into your own success story.' Beautifully designed in an easy-to-read summary format, this book 'walks the talk'.
