What Sort Of A Learner Am I?

I'm not too sure myself however, after carrying out a few on line quizzes, it appears as though I am a mixed type of learner but mostly a Visual One.

Here's a brief look at my score from this site:

What's My Learning Style? The Results:

• Auditory: 30%
• Visual: 40%
• Tactile: 30%

You are a Visual learner!

If you are a visual learner, you learn by reading or seeing pictures. You understand and remember things by sight. You can picture what you are learning in your head, and you learn best by using methods that are primarily visual. You like to see what you are learning.

As a visual learner, you are usually neat and clean. You often close your eyes to visualize or remember something.

Why Did I Choose CBLE?

The decision to choose CBLE was in fact made last year after I tested the some of the class of 2015’s artefacts, I gained some knowledge of the module as a whole and asked about the assignment elements. I found out that the artefact itself is what makes up most of the marks. Most said that it is enjoyable and simple to carry out as the age group could be as little as of those who would attend nursery. This basically influenced my decision as I knew from then that the artefact would not need to be too complicating.

I have had little experience in creating a game in the past. The task was to make a game of any genre using the software Game Maker. I chose to create an arcade style game which was based on one of my all time favourites SEGA game; Streets Of Rage.

Part of this unit is about teaching methods, which is something I have a slight interest in as I have considered becoming a teacher in the past. So I feel that the information that will be learnt from the work could be of some use for my future career (if I will eventually become a teacher).

The major part of the module is to create an artefact (a game) aimed to teach, this could be made using, among many methods, PowerPoint and or VBA which I believe I would be able to design and create fairly simply as I find that the programming language is quite easy to manage.
