Learning is part of our everyday lives and the moment we stop learning that is the moment we die. Believe it or not, learning is one of the things that make us human and once learning cease, an individual is said to have died even if he is still young and bubbling. We learn every day and sometimes we are not even conscious of the fact that we have learnt something until we begin to the little changes in our lives. For instance, If you live around a DJ that consistently plays certain kinds of music, after a while, you’d find yourself singing to the lyrics of the song without necessarily making a conscious effort to learn the song.

The psychologist sees learning not just as taking in information but as something that causes a relatively permanent change in the behaviour of the individual that was exposed to the new information. This simply means that the end result of learning is not just to consume information but to change our behaviour. You have not learnt anything if you do not see a change after the information was communicated to you. You can’t say you have learnt how to cook Afang Soup after watching a Video until you try to cook the soup yourself and the result is same as the Video....
1. ALISON
The first time I heard about Alison was when I just left secondary school and I was bored as hell. In my state of boredom, I stumbled on this learning platform and was taken aback by the fact that there was something like a classroom staring at me through my phone. I immediately registered on the platform but I, however, didn’t take any course until about two years later when I was forced to sit at home for six months because of ASUU STRIKE. That’s a long time right? Well, don’t be like me.
