Educational Guru Henri Holec first coined the phrase ‘learner autonomy in the early 1980s as the “learner’s ability to take charge of his or her learning”. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The learner can closely reflect on their learning process. Based on this reflection, they can introspect, take decisions, and act independently. Thereby, learning and adapting as and when required.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This helps them to learn and retain better and also transfer what they have learned to other contexts. This method of learning largely focuses on greater control of the learner on the learning process instead of other external factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The learner takes the initiative and responsibility for their learning and development. They also extend to collaborate with other employees and superiors to strengthen and solidify their growth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n This learning approach creates an active method of learning. This is attained through a strategic liberal learning process that is driven by the learner and their autonomy and control over their learning experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This autonomy and freedom motivate and encourages the learners to further boost their self-determination to succeed and meet the demands of the task at hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Learners take responsibility, set professional goals, schedule, and manage personal learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning is more effective and efficient as the driving force is not an external factor but rather the learners themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n LMS grants the learner autonomy and free rein on the content, learning process and accessibility. This ensures greater independence which further elevates the learner’s growth and ensures a hassle-free learning experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Its time and cost-effective feature allow the learners to access training whenever and wherever they want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The pace and customization is handled by the learner that gives them the control of their learning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An LMS is effortlessly accessible and accommodating and it can be accessed through any electronic device. This versatile feature allows the learners to learn from anywhere and at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LMS also encourages social learning. Learners can interact and learn from their peers by engaging in different activities. Such experiences help them to learn and develop themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"LMS](\"https:\/\/acadle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Blog-pictures-1200x-630-18-1024x538.png\")
