So a topic that stands out for me from the forum discussions is that studies show that learning styles are a myth. We've all heard of visual, tactile and auditory learners with the assumption that we learn best using the one that resonates more with us.
Well, apparently, all that is a myth. We do not learn better with any particular method. The good news with this discovery is that, as instructor's, we no longer have to worry about our students' preferred learning style.
However, I will continue to use visual techniques when I am trying to retain a topic that I don't necessarily enjoy learning about; because I know that for me, it helps.
