Learning happens all the time and in many different settings. While we are always learning, we do not all learn the same way. This presentation explored the idea of the learning cycle and four different learning styles: Concrete Experience - Reflective Observation -Abstract Conceptualization - Active Experimentation. Ms. Hanna and Ms. Winskowski began their presentation with an overview of the Learning Style Inventory (LSI) which was developed by David A. Kolb. They then distributed the Kolb Learning Style Inventory booklet, which included the test as well as diagrams used for interpreting the results. LSI is a simple questionnaire that allows people to identify their preferred ways of learning new information. After the participants interpreted their LSI scores, the audience broke up into two groups based on their learning styles and a discussion followed up on practical ways to adapt teaching to the learning cycles and to students' different learning styles. A lively Q & A session rounded out the very informative presentation.
