Start Here: Learning Again as an Adult

Media coming soon. Audio and video for this course are on the way. The full course is here as text today.

What you will be able to do

• Given a personal goal, state one life goal in one sentence and match it to one BMU course that teaches the needed skill.
• Plan three 15 minute study times for the coming week, each written as a when and where plan with a day, time, place, and phone reminder.
• Choose quizzing yourself and spacing out study over rereading, and use both in at least two study sessions.
• Turn on read aloud, larger text, and captions on your own phone or computer, and use at least one during study.
• Find one free learning help source near you (library or adult education) with contact details, and use a one page learning plan for 7 days with a written check in.
