People who are actively engaged in the learning process will more likely achieve success.

A key to getting and keeping learners involved in the learning process is to understand learning style preferences.

Herrmann Brain-Dominance Model

classifies learners in terms of their relative preferences for thinking in four different modes

left-brain cerebral (logical thinkers)left-brain limbic (sequential thinkers)right-brain limbic (emotional thinkers)right-brain cerebral (holistic thinkers).

Kolb’s Learning-Style Inventory

This classifies learners as having a preference for

concrete experience or abstract conceptualization

active experimentation or reflective observation.

individual activities one-to-one or small group interaction, and

audio-visual presentations (rather than just OHP presentations)
