1. Overt - things we can see to show learning (note taking); Covert - things we cannot see to show learning (visual concept in your head) 2. They are both learning strategies. They may also stem from one another. For example, while taking notes (overt) you may grow a visual idea (covert) to which may lead you to writing something else down.
Comment: The second question could also be used as an understanding question.
1. An overt strategy is one that is readily clear in a students behavior. An example of this would be anything that we can see: taking notes, making flashcards, asking questions. Covert strategies are things that we cannot see, such as thinking of concepts in your head, asking questions in your mind but not verbalizing them, or monitoring your own learning.
2. Both covert and overt are different strategies that we use when learning. Some students may benefit more from overt strategies that are visible while others may benefit more from covert strategies. It takes age and experience to determine which strategies are effective in different situations. Even though these are different strategies, they can be similar and related in that while you may write flash cards to learn information, you are also visualizing and thinking of the topic in your head. It is important to be aware of these different learning strategies, and I think that students often times are not aware of them.
