Multimodal Study Tips

Multimodal Learning

Multimodal learners are can take in information by using more than one method. Your challenge is to determine which style will beter suite different sources of information. For example, during the experimentation portion of the lab, you may find that a more Kinesthetic approach may work better for you, and during your preparation time it may take a more read/write approach to get your prelab done in your lab notebook. Here are some tips to help you get on your way:

If you have two dominant or equal preferences please read the study strategies that apply to your two choices. If you have three preferences read the three lists that apply and similarly for those with four. You will need to read two or three or four lists of strategies. One interesting piece of information that people with multimodal preferences have told us is that it is necessary for them to use more than one strategy for learning and communicating. Alternatively those with a single preference often "get it" by using the set of strategies that align with their single preference.
