I thoguht that in a previous discussion about a year ago on this list
the final
general conclusion was that the evidence for learning styles is very weak.
that's not to say that we can't have a variety of activities, each of which
engages learning in different ways; but this idea that some students are
"visual learners" some are "hands on learners" etc. is not substantiated by
methodologically clean studies.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
And I've retired, no papers in a heap.
Now in the mornings I can sleep
or walk those woods so dark and deep.
