Overview
Methods of access to learning have been increasing in the past few years
Content that is being provided by these methods has changed little in format
Open a debate, and ask if learning styles are being considered in the new wave of online delivery methods
What benefits can be made by ensuring online learning is inclusive
Learning styles
'Learning style is an individual's natural or habitual pattern of acquiring and processing information in learning situations' (Gardner, 1995).
Visual, Kinesthetic, Auditory(Rita Dunn 1978)
Behaviours
Honey & Mumford adaptation to the experiential learning theory (Kolb 1984).
Activist, Reflector, Pragmatist

Learning design
Should online learning design take into account different styles?
Should a learning design accommodate a number of styles?
Should we ignore various styles?
Open education
What part does Open education have to play within all this?
Should OE have guide lines?
If different styles are not taken into account, does OE become exclusive, and not inclusive?
