I just finished the Felder & Solomon Questionnaire that reveals your own individual learning style and here are my results:
I swing far towards the Intuitive learner and not the Sensing.
I am more Reflective but also Active.
I am far more a Visual Learner than a Verbal one &
I prefer Sequential learning than Global.
I think the test was fairly accurate, but it fails to mention that my learning style changes with the topic I am learning. For example with math, I like straightforward no-nonsense learning, with procedures and solutions that make clear sense, however with science I love the bigger picture, ideas and theories and the facts are not so important to me.
As far as my reflection on the implication for online learning design, I think it is clear that learning styles vary greatly between students, (and there is only more information coming to the surface proving this is true) so it is important to use a range of teaching techniques and stimuli to engage ALL students and not just the ones lucky enough to absorb only written lessons well.
