So what do you make of learning styles? Are they useful for you and your approach to learning? Do you think a teacher who knows about learning styles would be able to offer better services? Or do you think learning is far too complex for a simple awareness of learning styles to be of any use to a teacher or a learner? Why don't you add your point of view and join a discussion that is linked in the tab above?
