Visual
Students who best internalize and synthesize information when it is presented to them in a graphic depiction of meaningful symbols
are described as visual learners. They may respond to arrows, charts, diagrams and other visualizations of information hierarchy, but
not necessarily to photographs or videos.
Auditory
Auditory (or aural) learners are most successful when they are given the opportunity to hear information presented to them vocally.
This includes music, discussion, lectures, etc.
Reading/Writing
Students who work best in the reading/writing modality demonstrate a strong learning preference for the written word. This
includes both written information presented in class in the form of handouts and PowerPoint slide presentations as well as the
opportunity to synthesize course content in the completion of written assignments.
Kinesthetic
Kinesthetic learners are hands‐on, participatory learners who need to take a physically active role in the learning process in order to
achieve their best educational outcomes. They are sometimes referred to as “tactile learners,” but this can be a bit of a misnomer;
rather than simply utilizing touch, kinesthetic learners tend to engage all of their senses equally in the process of learning.
