The first significant salvo in what promises to be an interesting (but distracting) series of academic questions. What are learning styles? Do they affect learning outcomes? Can they be integrated into learning? This article features a round table discussion featuring a number of luminaries, including Dave Kolb (who introduced the term 'learning styles' in the 1960s). The only weakness of this panel is that, as the article admits explicitly, "All those we invited to participate in this feature have a stake in differential learning, academically, professionally or commercially." What I'd like to see is a good no-holds-barred debate between this group and the learning styles sceptics. Anyhow. This is a good coffee-break read.
