Steven Vaughn’s Blog-Module 5 Listening Strategies

When it comes to web-enhanced listening and viewing strategies, I personally do not utilize any online resources to guide me in capturing information being taught to me. When it comes to sitting in a class listening to a lecture, the ability to capture all of the information that the professor is lecturing about lies directly in the hands of the student in that class. With that being said, I do not thing that resources found on the web or anywhere else for that matter are quite necessary. However, I am an avid note-taker when it comes to sitting in o lecture and I do believe that there are proper ways of going about taking notes. During this lesson, a decent amount of time was spent on ways to take good notes. Splitting the paper into two sides is a great strategy. This allows for you to use one side to list main points being discussed, while using the other side as an area for questions, comments and concerns regarding the learning material. Using this strategy allows you to go back to review and summarize all information from lecture while being able to answer all of the questions you may have had during the process. Another topic is that of using online articles rather than going to class to learn the material. This may be more convenient for the student, but the author of that article online isn’t the one who will be writing the tests you will be taking. This should be kept in mind when you think online articles are a safe alternative to attending class. In conclusion, I do not believe web-based strategies are necessary for students to comprehend information being taught to them.
