Learning styles 1.1 Learning styles and digital tools Who are the learners?

Learning styles 1.2 The four core learning styles Auditory Learn best by hearing information Visual Learn best by seeing information 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 Kinesthetic Reading/writing Learn best by reading and writing information Learn best by hands-on experiences "The European Commission support for the production of this publication does not constitute endorsement of the contents which reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein."
Learning styles 1.2 The four core learning styles Visual learners Show instead of tell Visual learners learn better when they see pictures. The pictorial representation of information (such as arrows and charts) allows visual learners to recall the information more accurately. Digital tools and activities that support visual learning Youtube, take photos with smartphone, gps guided tours, 3d software, Virtual Reality, screenrecording, mindmaps, visual elements such as games and simulations etc. "The European Commission support for the production of this publication does not constitute endorsement of the contents which reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein."
Learning styles 1.2 The four core learning styles Auditory learners Some people learn best if they listen Aural learners, learn best by hearing information and speaking their answers. They often prefer listening to lectures and engaging with audio content rather than taking notes. Digital tools and activities that support auditory learning Audio recordings of lectures, podcast creation, audio books, record homework onto devices, online collaboration tools that allow students to engage in real-time discussions.

They thrive when they can engage all of their senses during course work. In workshops and labs, these students work well because they are given the opportunity to engage with their hands and all of their senses. Digital tools and activities that support Kinesthetic learning Record video when doing things(vlogging), assignments with real-life connections, quizzes with Branching scenarios, virtual field trips, VR, interactive tools to allow students to move, manipulate, and explore information.

Learning styles 1.2 The four core learning styles Multimodal learning Multimodal learning Apply multiple learning styles simultaneously. Digital tools Students who are exposed to multiple learning styles can learn the material quicker and have a deeper understanding of what was taught within the learning process this can be facilitated with digital tools "The European Commission support for the production of this publication does not constitute endorsement of the contents which reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein."
