Catering to Different Learning Styles
People absorb ideas differently, some by seeing, some by hearing, some by doing. The fix isn't more material; it's teaching the same point several ways.
The Idea
People learn in different ways, so the most effective teaching presents the same point in multiple formats rather than piling on more points.
When learners encounter the same idea in several forms, they start to truly understand it.
