Im guessing youre designing online distance learning courses. Im in the weird place of for-profit education, which really has characteristics of both market sectors. Having just a bachelors degree seems to be fine as long as you arent working directly for the universities (Im not sure about K-12 online). What do you do?

Tobias states: Some adaptations to learning styles may lead instructional developers to teach concepts using multiple illustrations. I think the problem here is not with learning styles, but with the attempt to match the teaching to a particular style. Studies are being undertaken to validate it on broader populations.
