Do you find
yourself skimming through information on your Ipad less thoroughly than you
would if the information was printed in front of you in a document? You are not
alone. Neuroscientists have revealed that humans use different parts of the
brain when reading from a piece of paper than they do when reading from a
screen.
The study
also revealed that the more time we spend behind a computer, the more our brain
starts to scan through information differently. So what does this mean for the
part of our brain that has the capacity to become immersed in a good book?
Basically - if you don't use it, you'll lose it.
To keep your
deep reading brain alive, experts suggest putting aside a little time each day
to pick up a book. And, no - your kindle does not count! This doesn't just
apply for adults. Parents should make sure their children read this way from an
early age to ensure this part of the brain develops properly.
At Learning Cloud we have always
understood that people learn differently, and that some students much prefer to
have a hard copy of their course at their disposal - rather than only being
able to access information online.
Therefore,
90% of our courses are
available in hard copy, online, or as a mixture of the two. Our hard copies are
sent via post at no additional charge to the student - so you don't have to
feel penalised if you would like to learn through old fashioned correspondence.
