The 3 Styles of Learning

1. Visual – most learners are visual. They like to read and especially learn when that content is supported by charts and images.
2. Auditory – there’s a segment of the population that can’t learn through visuals alone… they need to actually hear the information to understand it. Tone of voice and inflection are very important.
3. Kinesthetic – some people don’t learn through reading or hearing… they learn through interaction. Although a blog enables this type of communication, there are additional opportunities to reinforce through polls, questionnaires, slideshows and other applications.

A great reminder for everyone in communications, internal or external. We need to make sure we cover all three to achieve maximum impact and effectiveness.
