We are a combination of learning styles and these can differ according to what we are learning . We as teachers need to help students strengthen all learning styles. I explain that to my students and encourage them to develop their less preferred learning styles. They seem to accept this. Doug, I agree.

I think we're all agreed that learning styles is a good heuristic for introducing different types of activity. That's *all* it is though - categorising students narrowly is not the way forward!

I tend to feel that much of someones learning style is not so much auditory vs. visual, but capturing an interest level by using the senses in appropriate ways. When I teach theory of computers and networking, I find that if I can immediately capture a students interest and follow it with good graphical and auditory presentation, they will be much more apt to capture the information I am teaching.<br><br>Take this video for example. It was presented very well in an auditory fashion and was followed by visual cues that kept the listeners attention. The video would make no sense without the auditory portion and would be rather dry without the visual cues. Together, they present a theory that can hold most peoples interest.
