Let's See the Sites!

There are many sites on the Internet devoted to learning styles. There are few however, that specifically relate learning styles to distance education. The sites listed below are just a few of the learning style inventories and assessments available on the Internet. They were chosen for conciseness, thoroughness of feedback, link reliability, and simplicity. The sites are not specific to learning styles related to distance education, but to learning styles in general. By taking one or more of these assessments you will be able to identify your preferred style of learning. Knowing this information about yourself coupled taking the MCC Online Course Readiness Checklist could help better prepare you for your online learning experience.
