A Scholar's Environment

As said in my previous blog, technology makes it easier for a student to access information on any topic. The main important part when in college is to suit the learning environment towards the learning styles of the student. Every student has their own learning style. Technology can play big parts toward the visual learning style in which students learn through their vision. The arrangement of how notes are shown to the class helps visual learners retain information. The use of projectors, computer screens, and the original dry erase board assists these types of learners. For Auditory learners, learning is assisted through sound. The use of recording devices and computers that write notes through sound, assist those who need to hear for better learning. Auditory learners are more inclined to take traditional classroom settings for the teaching of the professor to be heard in person. Visual learners have a bigger inclination to take online/hybrid courses, because they use the writings on the screen to focus more on. Technology plays a big part in our everyday community, especially the college community.

  1. Now this is an interesting post, but go further. Wouldn't visual learners also take face-to-face classes because they can learn through eye contact, hand gestures, and by watching interactions in the physical classroom space?

    Do you have sources to back up the points you make here, or are these your observations?
