Learning Cycle at Activate Learning

The learning cycle is a model of learning that can be used to plan individual lessons or workshops, weeks of learning and longer projects of learning over months. The beauty of a cycle is that you can facilitate some present, apply, recall & review and then repeat as required during a lesson or perhaps over a series of lessons. Although it provides structure to learning, you must use your professional judgement to consider how best it can be used to suit your learners and the topic.

The aim of this short refresher module is to review your knowledge and current application of the College's Learning Cycle lesson model.

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

1. Identify the importance of the learning cycle.
