I've referenced Tim Klapdor's discussion of learning types a couple times over the last few months. This post is the most complete description to date, framed within an open design system for learning. A design system, he writes, has three parts: principles (the motivations & drivers); language (words & visuals); and components (patterns & styles). The learning types typography is a part of the language being used. Klapdor "then built a library of common patterns related to each of the Learning Types" and applies them in a sample lesson. He and his colleagues have deployed them in "two fully online undergraduate programs consisting of 36 courses" with "3000 pages of content and 6084 hours of learning." There are videos and links to the learning types and learning patterns website available. What would be cool would then be tools for each pattern, maybe even a standard way to launch them.
