What's Your Preference? A VARK Video

If you've followed any of my tweets or my HubPages account you've probably figured out that I'm a bit obsessed with learning preferences (the ways that people like to learn). With that in mind, I recently found a cute, but cheesy, video on the differences in learning preferences, inspired by Neil Fleming's VARK theory, and a bit of super heroes.



So what's your learning style? What's your preference. Remember, no one method is better than another, it all depends upon your personality and ultimately your learning preference

About Learning Preferences

I'm a firm believer in students figuring out what their learning preference is. Just as each child is not the same, not each student learns the same way.  Although the learning preference or modality is not a new concept, Neil Fleming has devised a simple system to help people determine their learning preference.


Check out my three-part article series on learning preferences:
No Cookie Cutter Learning: Understanding Learning Preferences, Part 1
No Cookie Cutter Learning: Understanding Learning Preferences, Part 2
No Cookie Cutter Learning: Understanding Learning Preferences, Part 3


For a brief overview on the subject of learning preferences, check out this presentation below. While not everything jives with Fleming's VARK system, you'll at least get an idea of what learning preferences are, and why they are so important.
