>>NARRATOR: Hello and welcome to part S of the Self-Assessment Inventory Difficulties
with Auditory Processing. >>NARRATOR: Auditory Processing being the
ability to process sounds and hear their differences and similarities.
>>NARRATOR: Some learning strategies for this learning style are to have a quiet environment
to work in, a good example of this would be a library.
>>NARRATOR: Libraries are kind of great for this because there are lots of nooks and crannies,
you can get comfortable, you can go through what you need to do,
>>NARRATOR: and you can have a little space, but there is also lots of information all
around you, obviously, it's a library. And that makes it really easy to do reserach,
>>NARRATOR: and go through things at your own pace. You can also select a seat at the
front of the classroom. This way if someone is whispering in the back,
>>NARRATOR: it's not necessarily as distracting, you have a better view along with better audio,
and it will give you a better opportunity to observe what is going on,
>>NARRATOR: and cut out distractions. >>NARRATOR: Visual References and Audio Imput.
For this example we are going to use the Smart Pen.
>>NARRATOR: It's a really cool tool we have here at the Assistive Technology Center at
UWSP. >>NARRATOR: It's basically a pen and what
it does is as it writes it's syncs whatever it is seeing on the paper, because there is
a camera on the tip. >>NARRATOR: It syncs whatever it is seeing
on the paper with the audio that is going on at the exact moment.
>>NARRATOR: So here is how you use it. There are little buttons at the bottom of the page.
>>NARRATOR: You would hit the record button and start writing when you're done you would
hit pause or stop, and that will save your recording,
>>NARRATOR: and afterwords you can go back and click on your notes and hear exactly what
was being said at the time you were writing down that word.
>>NARRATOR: It's really nice for going back to listen through your lectures.
>>NARRATOR: There is also another feature, where you can plug the Smart Pen into your
computer and download the pages and the audio that you've recorded.
>>NARRATOR: The green on the Livescribe Desktop on the pages represents audio, where the black
writing represents just writing, you didn't capture any audio,
>>NARRATOR: and then with these pages, since they're on your computer, you can listen to
them whenever you'd like to. >>NARRATOR: You can also use Premier Tools.
They're really nice; they allow you to modify documents, make it easier to listen to them
on audio, >>NARRATOR: change voices, change color, change
font, and just personalize your assignments, or anything you're working on,
>>NARRATOR: so you understand it best and it's easiest for you to work for instead of
just being a black and white, cookie cutter assignment that might be harder for you to
understand. >>NARRATOR: You can kind of excel in this
category. >>NARRATOR: Requesting instructions in writing,
this makes it a little easier, say, a professor's going through stuff, he's also telling you
notes, there's Powerpoints going on, >>NARRATOR: he just happens to say something
about an assignment that due and you completely miss it,
>>NARRATOR: 'cause you're a college student and you're trying to get everything down and
prepare for an exam. >>NARRATOR: It'll be easier if there are instructions
in writing you can come back to at a later point and look up and go "Ah-ha, that's what
I was supposed to do". >>NARRATOR: You can also request clarification
of key information, again, go to a professor and say
>>NARRATOR: "You were telling us about this assignment, I missed it because I was trying
to get your notes down, lecture was going fast, can you please tell me again?"
>>NARRATOR: of, if you have a question in class, go ahead and raise your hand and ask,
>>NARRATOR: there's probably four or five other people who have no idea of what the
thing the professor put on the board is either, I know I've been there,
>>NARRATOR: and, so, that'll probably help you out and you'll also help other people
out with confusing information. >>NARRATOR: You can also create a glossary
of key terms for the course. >>NARRATOR: This allows you to have a personalized
dictionary for whatever your going for, so you have a high-level biology class, a lot
of terminology is being thrown around, >>NARRATOR: you can make your own personal
dictionary, and this will help you keep abreast of what is going on, and it might actually
help you gain an edge in the course. >>NARRATOR: If you understand the basics really
well, it'll make the advanced stuff mcuh easier; or, say you have a foreign language course,
write a journal in a foreign language. >>NARRATOR: This will allow you to have to
navigate through that language, and to understand it, to reference different passages of that
journal, >>NARRATOR: and it will give you more experience
with using the language. >>NARRATOR: You can also use flashcards to
help yourself study and there are a few ways to do this.
>>NARRATOR: You can either make your own, like the flashcards in the upper right hand
corner, and these are good because you go through three different forms of processing
when you're making them. >>NARRATOR: You go through coming up with
what you want to do, so you have to think of how you want to do that with your information,
the you go through the actual creation process, >>NARRATOR: and then you study, so it's really
good because you get those three forms of processing, you understand your information
a little bit more, >>NARRATOR: and you're able to get a set of
cards that are personalized to you. >>NARRATOR: You can also, if you have something
really complex, like anatomy, that example is shown in the lower-left-hand corner, you
can go ahead and buy flashcards, >>NARRATOR: there's a lot of them out there,
and if you buy them, you can study them, they come pre-made, you don't have to make them
yourself, >>NARRATOR: and they'll probably really help
you with your studies and finding things out. >>NARRATOR: This video has been sponsored
by the Disability and Assistive Technology Center at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens
Point. >>NARRATOR: Thank you so much for your time
today. Please feel free to go ahead and check out our website, we'd love it if you do, check
out our resources there, >>NARRATOR: see if there's anything that can
help you or interests you, and I'm really glad you took some time today to watch this
video. Thank you so much, and I hope you have a nice day.
