Knowledge, Learning, Community

Laura Lynch walks a fine line with this discussion of learning styles. "While the learning style theory—that individual students might have a style that helps them learn better—may be complete bunk," she writes, "presenting material in a variety of ways does have a lot of merit." Why? Well for one thing, it may assist people who have learning disabilities - though we should not, she says, confuse these with learning styles. Also, "most of us process information best when we encounter it in a variety of ways—social and solitary and physical and logical."
