Students with learning disabilities tend to learn better in the online environment, but institutions are not doing enough to prepare instructors to meet their needs, says Mary Beth Crum, an online instructor at the University of Wisconsin—Stout

For some, online learning provides the opportunity to hide their learning disabilities from classmates, which can be a welcome relief from the unwanted attention their learning disabilities received in their face-to-face courses.

Crum has found that when students who need extra time initially receive it, they tend to get subsequent assignments in on time. Planning becomes a way for them to reach their potential once the obstacle of a due date is removed.

Students attracted to online learning tend to fall into the "non-traditional" categories, particularly adult learners who are balancing work and other responsibilities -How does the student manage his or her time? -How does the student respond when clarification is needed and no one is there to ask? -What are the student's organizational skills? -How does the student feel about the limited social interaction? -How much time does the student need to read and process written information?

Universal eLearners are being implemented in traditional F2F classrooms, but there are implications that suggest this is a tool that could be adapted for online courses when the students include those with a variety of physical and cognitive disabilities.

. While many of those scientists seek to discover general principles of learning, we all acknowledge that there are differences among students. Understanding these differences and applying that understanding in the classroom can improve everyone's education

First, whether we call it talent, ability, or intelligence, people vary in their capacity to learn different areas of content
...

Cancel
Second, and often intertwined with ability, students differ in their interests. If a student loves the piano, or basketball, or chess, or the biology of frogs, that student will no doubt learn material related to that subject faster than another one who does not share that fascination.

Third, students differ in their background knowledge, and that difference influences their learning
...

Cancel
Many students will report preferring to study visually and others through an auditory channel. However, when these tendencies are put to the test under controlled conditions, they make no difference—learning is equivalent whether students learn in the preferred mode or not
...

Cancel
The emphasis on learning styles, we think, often comes at the cost of attention to these other important dimension
...

Cancel
just as our social selves have personalities, so do our memories.

Cancel
Finally, some students have specific learning disabilities, and these affect their learning in specific ways.
...

Cancel
The proof that the learning-styles theorist must find is that for some sort of content—whether it be math, poetry, or dodgeball—changing the mode of presentation to match the learning styles helps people learn. That evidence has simply not been found.
...

Cancel
While such evidence of learning styles would serve as a proof that they exist, the lack of evidence does not prove definitively that they do not exist
...

Cancel
Teachers should take into account the differences in learners' abilities. And adjusting a lesson not just to be appropriately pitched at the students' level of ability but to take into account their background knowledge and interests is surely an important first step in fostering learning.

Cancel
if a student believes she is a visual learner and therefore disengages and daydreams when a lecturer turns off the PowerPoint and tells a story, this will prevent her from learning the concept through a compelling narrative. And while these beliefs may not have as direct an impact on performance reviews as they do in K-12 settings, a belief in learning styles occasionally shows up in student evaluations of teaching:

(can the auditory learner learn geography through hearing it? Can the visual learner become better at music by seeing it?)

Third, learning-styles theory has succeeded in becoming “common knowledge.” Its widespread acceptance serves as an unfortunately compelling reason to believe it

Cancel
econd, learning-styles theory is sometimes offered as a reason to include digital media in the classroom.

. We shouldn't congratulate ourselves for showing a video to engage the visual learners or offering podcasts to the auditory learners. Rather, we should realize that the value of the video or audio will be determined by how it suits the content that we are asking students to learn and the background knowledge, interests, and abilities that they bring to i

Assessment of student interest can also be a useful tool for deciding how to approach the material in a given class
...

Cancel
Students differ in their abilities, interests, and background knowledge, but not in their learning styles. Students may have preferences about how to learn, but no evidence suggests that catering to those preferences will lead to better learning. As college educators, we should apply this to the classroom by continuing to present information in the most appropriate manner for our content and for the level of prior knowledge, ability, and interests of that particular set of students.
