How well you learn is influenced by many factors besides course content. Whether you are learning online or in a traditional classroom, the way the material is presented will affect your learning. Some teachers support their teaching with real life examples. Some teachers use graphic models and charts to demonstrate trends. Some teachers use hot topics to encourage discussion. Some use computer models for clarity.   Depending on your preferences, some presentation styles will appeal to you more than others.

Your learning may also be influenced by the support of other people, including your family, your friends, your tutor, and your counselor. It may also be influenced by the use of other resources such as online glossaries and virtual science labs.  Together, those people and things can influence your learning and shape your entire learning experience.
