Think of learning as a system. Many individual parts that are interrelated comprise a system. A good example is the human body. The human body contains many systems, for example, the circulatory system. This system is made up of many individual parts, including the heart, lungs, arteries, and veins. These components help circulate blood required to nourish cells and keep the body fuctioning. If any part of the system malfunctions, the entire system breaks down.

Similarly, a learning system is dependent upon four independent but interconnected components. The components include the learner, the content, the context, and the teacher. If one component isn't working properly, the system breaks down. Let’s look at the individual components of the system.

For a learning system to succeed, all of the parts must work together. You’ll need to consider your learners and accommodate their individual learning styles as you design and deliver programs. The modules in this section will help you strengthen and develop your knowledge and skills to create positive learning experiences. Modules included in this topic are:
