Learning New Software

One of my first initiatives in my new position is to learn and master a new software application. One of the techniques I  just realized has increased my retention and attention span is to focus on preparing questions with answers about the material that is being digested. This act forces a sort of regurgitation of materials.

"Tell me and I forget.
Show me and I remember.
Let me do and I understand."

Quote by:

Confucius [Kung Fu-tse] (551-479 B.C.)

"The key to wisdom is this --
constant and frequent questioning ...
for by doubting we are led to question and
by questioning we arrive at the truth."

Peter Abelard (1099-1142)
