The WebLearning Curriculum Overview
At WebLearning Network®, our pursuit of world-class e-learning is founded on an understanding of the needs and goals of our learners. Designing courseware with a focus on learners means producing simple, flexible content that accommodates various learning styles..

Some individuals are ‘tell me’ learners, who learn best by reading a list of steps. Most people are ‘show me’ learners, who prefer to learn in a simulated application environment and rely on visual queues to understand new skills or concepts. Lastly, there are ‘let me’ learners, who need to engage a new idea or skill by actually trying it out. The most effective learning occurs when an individual engages material in a comprehensive fashion and can benefit from the strengths of all three styles of learning.
