Understanding which learning style you have makes it easier to succeed in college. For example, auditory learners can modify their studying tactics to include reading out loud or listening to audio books, while kinesthetic learners can take a fidget toy to lectures.

Other Types Of Learner

In actuality, there are many more than 4 types of learners. For instance, some students learn best when they're using logic to classify and categorize information. Others need a social setting to reinforce their learning. Still others learn best when they have to teach the material to someone else.

Tips for Visual Learners

When learning from home, visual learners need to minimize distractions. Instead of studying next to a window and getting distracted by the outside, create a dedicated workspace and make class the most engaging thing in your eyeline. Visual learners can also make their own diagrams, designs, or even doodles; taking visual notes helps them retain information.

Tips for Auditory Learners

Auditory learners can thrive in distance learning environments because online classes tend to place a greater emphasis on sound and listening. Auditory learners may benefit from using headphones when attending class to block out other sounds. If their professors don't mind, sometimes turning off the screen can help auditory learners focus on the material. Reading material out loud can also help auditory learners absorb new information.

Tips for Kinesthetic Learners

Hybrid and virtual learning environments are particularly helpful for kinesthetic learners. Professors generally frown upon walking around during a lecture, but in a virtual environment, kinesthetic learners can turn on recorded material and move while they listen to or study it. A standing or walking desk can also help kinesthetic learners keep moving while actively engaging with their courses.

Tips for Reading/Writing Learners

Many college classes already gear their material toward reading/writing learners. In an online format, reading/writing learners can increase their productivity by taking notes during online lectures and discussions. Some online platforms create automatic transcripts for lectures, which reading-centered learners can use to follow along or review content later. Rewriting and rereading also helps these learners cement new information.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
