I consider myself an audio learner. I even find myself
stopping in the middle of silent reading if I encounter a word I don’t know how
to pronounce because I “hear” my reading in my head. In spite of that tendency,
I find it difficult to assimilate what I hear from an audio presentation of a
lesson. Although I like the ability to listen more than once, I learn much
better when I also see the words written out or have to interact with the
presentation in some way. When I am face to face with my instructor, that is
usually interaction enough to help me remember the lesson. When my instructor
is online, however, I need more than just audio. A presentation to back up and
reinforce the audio is a big help, especially when I can manipulate the
presentation myself or have to respond in some way during the presentation. The
response can even be in the form of a question or questions to ponder.
