Details

Historically it has been agreed that there are three key learning styles; kinesthetic (tactile), visual and auditory. However this categorization was first defined decades ago. We would like to present to our clients an updated perspective on this.


What we are looking to discover is:

a) whether or not there are subgroups within each style,

b) if learning styles change as one ages (i.e.: born with one dominant style that changes through life),

c) if this there has been a generational shift in this change with the shifts in parenting and/or the industrial age and

d) with the proliferation of web based learning programs have learning styles changed? 

Deliverables
  1. Researching past and current learning styles.
  2. Using critical thinking to determine if there are subgroups.
  3. Possibly interviewing educators, or corporate trainers to gain perspective.
  4. Providing data to support the findings along with opinions from the students based on this data.


Mentorship

We will provide mentorship and support, and be available at anytime for meetings or updates. We have a team of 3 people on this particular project, with regular access to them.
