Learning styles

    In last couple of weeks on one of the modules, we have been talking about learning styles.  Learning styles are various approaches or different ways we learn. There are three basic types of learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. This is very interesting topic and if you wonder what styles of learning is more suitable for you, I prepared a few characteristics to each style, so.....have a look!
