 		What are the relevant kinds of learning? Perhaps the most important aspect of the situation is the kind of learning that is to be facilitated. Knowing about the kinds of learning helps us to do a better job of teaching them. The most basic distinction is Benjamin Bloom's three domains:
  • Cognitive learning (thoughts), such as teaching someone to add fractions.
  • Affective learning (feelings, values), such as teaching someone to not want to smoke.
  • Physical or motor learning (actions), such as teaching someone to touch type.
Do you think you need very different methods of instruction for these kinds of learning?

In this module, we will focus on ways of facilitating cognitive learning.
