A knowledge of your own and others' preferred learning styles can be of great benefit to your study at university as well as any aspect of your life that involves teaching and learning. Now that just about covers everything!

This module relies heavily on the work of many researchers, particularly Richard Felder and Barbara Soloman. You can find out more about their work in the Credits & Evaluation section of this module.

The first few sections of this module explain a common way of classifying learning styles.

An interesting exercise (PC users only - 1.1MB) called brain.exe can be downloaded. It will give you some more information about your preferred learning style.
