How do people learn? How do you deliver training processes?

This site is meant to gain knowledge in exploring how people learn. I have always noticed that many instructors are never given any formal training or guidance into preparing training material for classes and other electronic delivery. Online learning is the new buzz, but how is effective content prepared?

People learn in many different ways. They are affected by their environment and cultural factors. The traditional method of teaching has always been a lecture followed up with additional readings and homework. Is that an effective method for everyone? I believe not.

Students fall into learner centered, knowledge centered, or community centered environments all with some form of assessment to support and measure learning.

I propose to do research based on the different environments and try to find optimal solutions as to delivery of educational material to each group.
