Knowing
yourself will always help you succeed. This is especially

the online medium may make you a different kind of student,

style is consistent no matter the educational setting. Figuring
out what kind of learner you are can significantly increase

identify your learning style (or styles; some people fall

kind of resources and support you will need to reach your
goals in an online environment.
The
three types of learners are visual, auditory and kinesthetic.
