Hi Karen, thanks, you have addressed a bottom-line point - adult learners input, process and output information in different ways - tapping into their different learning styles therefore facilitates more effective comprehension and application opportunities. I might say too, though, that sometimes we have to take students outside of the comfort zone of their preferred styles. As we know, the workplace is not as forgiving as the classroom or lab - auditory learners may have to read policies, procedures and manuals; visual learners may have to hear a set of instructions from their supervisors; and kinesthetic learners may not have the chance to first actively demonstrate their skill mastery or practice a hands-on activity. It can be a challenge for us, as instructors, to keep the balance. Thanks again for your observations! Jay Hollowell ED106 Facilitator
