M2: Review draft documents to produce final versions



I've chosen to use spell check to review all my draft documents this ensures that my final versions are error free and people are able to understand my work clearly.




Here I've incorrectly spelt 'confident' wrong, this can be seen by it being highlighted in yellow to alert your attention to it.




Once you've clicked on the error it comes up with a list of correctly spelt words which it thinks you might be trying to spell. In this case it's the top word which I need to change it too therefore I clicked on that word and it automatically changed it for me.

M3: Explain how an awareness of learning style can aid personal development



Not everyone has the same type of learning style, to find out your own learning style you are easily able to take an online test to find out which one you are. There are three different ones these are:

 
Visual Learner

These types of learners take in information and ideas visually, this can include pictures, diagrams and bullet points when revising. Using different colours for your written work can highlight key points which you find difficult to remember. Watch any videos or visit exhibitions which are relevant to what you are studying and can help you understand the subject further.

 

Auditory Learner

These types of learners take in information through listening, such as rhymes and rhythms can help memorise important information. Reading aloud your work several times if there’s something you don’t quite understand and working in a noiseless environment helps to remember work better. Listening to podcasts or videos relevant to the subject you are taking will help the learner take more information in through this way.



Kinesthetic Learner

These types of learners take in information through physical activity; they take things in more if they are moving around whilst learning. This could be done through creating cue cards with important information on and then wandering about in a room whilst reading them. Acting out ideas, problems or particular events from subjects will help you recall them easier. By revising each subject in separate areas will help you remember the information by thinking about the area you revised in.
