What learning styles do you think would be best suited to an online learning environment? Are some styles of learning not suited to online learning?
I believe that the learning style that would be suitable for online learning using ICTs is Interpersonal. Technologies such as MSN Instant Messenger and Web 2.0 give students the opportunity to engage in knowlege sharing and deeper learning as a team. Simultaneosly, they can enjoy each other's ideas and findings in an interactive and meaningful way.
Furthermore, I perceive that all styles of learning using ICTs can be suited to online learning. However, the ICT Resource would need to be carefully planned and suited to the student's learning style. Specifically, a well presented slide show containing religious art can appeal to a visual learner. On the otherhand, a text based techonology such as in a blogging community would most probably disengage them. Hence, it is crucial as a teacher to understand and meet the unique learning styles of your students in order to effectively develop their knowledge and talents.
