I try to hit as many learning styles as possible with all the information provided.
Laura,
By offering variety in your instructional delivery you are appealing to the different learning preferences of your students. This way each student at different times during the course will find they preferred delivery venue.

I use kinesthetic, visual, and auditory. I find the least number of my college students are auditory. I go over what each is and then ask what they identify with when I teach the Life Skills class.
Allen,
The dicussion on human retention in the 24 hour period where a student retains 25% of what they hear, 40% of what they see, and 70% of what they feel confirms the important of adapting the course content to hit as many of the learning styles as possible. In the online environment, it is difficult to meet the tactile or hand on style because the emphasis focuses more on the seeing and hearing styles.
All the best,
