Hi Caroline
A couple of years ago I wrote a booklet: 'Accelerated Learning' that links
general & individual effective learning strategies with Howard Gardner's theory
of multiple intelligence that you might want to check out as possibly
complementary to Honey & Mumford. You can find the booklet on the University
of Bradford, School of Management Effective Learning Service site:

Quoting Nicola Jo Mellor <[log in to unmask]>:
> Sounds like a very worthwhile exercise. I wonder whether you have looked
> at Felder and Silverman's index of learning styles? Felder and Solomon
> have developed an online questionnaire for this:

> I happen to have been looking at this recently and what really caught my
> eye is that the questionnaire handbook suggests to students some
> practical learning strategies that suit their preferred learning styles.
> I have only ever road tested this on myself so it would be interesting
> to hear whether others have looked into it more deeply or made more
> practical use of it with students.

> Your advice will be much appreciated.
