Abstract :
Instructors should adapt pedagogical methods to accommodate the widest possible variety of learning styles. What is needed is not a global change in teaching strategy but the systematic adoption of a small number of instructional techniques to cover all poles of the learning style dimensions. Studies are cited that suggest that the preparation time and class time needed to introduce these changes are justified by the likely benefits to the students and to society
