Article Overview:
In this article, Rod asks you to consider if learning styles really matter, and if so, can we meet the needs of each learning style without compromising the needs of others.

Opening Words:
I suspect that almost everyone reading this article will know something of Honey and Mumford’s timeless learning styles model, which identifies four key learning preferences. But do learning styles matter?

In short, yes. If we’re involved in learning design, they matter because if we disregard the needs of different learners, we’ll fail to engage all of our learners; indeed, we’ll risk alienating some learners from the whole learning experience.
