Key features include: - nine chapters each dealing with a different aspect of learning - models and concepts of learning developed and adapted from a range of sources from the disciplines of education and psychology - suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter - individual self-assessment exercises to help gain a detailed understanding of strengths, weaknesses and motivation.
