Basic Description

The aim of this learning design is for students to analyse the way they learn and how they learn, making them address the question: 'How do I learn best'? Students are tasked to complete a short questionnaire based on VART (Visual, Aural, Reading/writing, Kinaesthetic) that then provides students with a profile of their learning preferences. The results of this will inform students of their different approaches to learning as well as supporting students who are facing difficulties in their learning. Students then go on to complete an action plan based on their results as well as planning a review of their learning.
