Accelerated Learning - appealing to multiple intelligences Accelerated learning techniques can be powerful in the design and provision of creative learning. Accelerated learning is essentially about designing a combination of learning elements into a programme that appeal to multiple intelligences and ultimately ensure learning preferences of individual learners are accommodated. Learners are smart in different ways often grouped under the following categories: Linguistic Logical Spatial Kinaesthetic Musical Interpersonal Intrapersonal Naturalist Using Accelerated Learning To appeal to multiple intelligences of learners at various times we might incorporates into a learning event or learning support project these components for example: Linguistic – group debates, discussions, word play games Logical – step by step and process models, logical thinking puzzles Spatial – visual illustrations, drawing exercises, presenting information from a variety of perspectives Kinaesthetic – role plays, exercises and physical activities Musical – background music at appropriate times Interpersonal – inclusion of stakeholders, working on real situational learning, encouraging communication Intrapersonal – action planning, reflection exercises, opportunities to adapt to learning, support processes Naturalist – social contexts, behaviours, motivations and eliminating blockages How can Merlin help? Adapting theses elements to a particular situation and organisation helps to ensure that the learning interactions are creative and effective for organisations, engaging and fun for learners. An additional benefit is that in addition to content learning, learners using multiple intelligences are continuously increasing their ability to learn using the full range of intelligences.
