The Ways to Learn
Learning experts have long said that different individuals learn in different ways:
Auditory learners make up 30% of the population and learn by hearing. They would rather listen to something or talk with another person to help recall information.
Visual learners make up 65% of the population. They need to see what they're learning as they can visualize ideas and relationships. They do well with charts, maps, timelines, models, and diagrams.
Kinesthetic learners make up just 5% of the population. They're the hands-on types who learn by doing or experiencing things.
Learning Styles and the Online Learner
Everyone has their own style of learning. The online learning environment can suit all of these groups. For those students who prefer to study alone in a quiet environment, online learning can be successful. Visual learners can benefit from videos, graphs, and images. Kinesthetic learners appreciate social learning groups.
