Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Historically it has been agreed that there are three key learning styles; kinesthetic (tactile), visual and auditory. However this categorization was first defined decades ago. We would like to present to our clients an updated perspective on this.


What we are looking to discover is:

a) whether or not there are subgroups within each style,

b) if learning styles change as one ages (i.e.: born with one dominant style that changes through life),

c) if this there has been a generational shift in this change with the shifts in parenting and/or the industrial age and

d) with the proliferation of web based learning programs have learning styles changed? 

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
  1. Researching past and current learning styles.
  2. Using critical thinking to determine if there are subgroups.
  3. Possibly interviewing educators, or corporate trainers to gain perspective.
  4. Providing data to support the findings along with opinions from the students based on this data.


How will you support learners in completing the project?

We will provide mentorship and support, and be available at anytime for meetings or updates. We have a team of 3 people on this particular project, with regular access to them.

What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

There are no "special skills" required for this project. We would hope that participants are interested in digging deeply into the research and subject matter.
