Visual learners prefer visual materials such as charts, graphs, diagrams, pictures, etc. They like to use visuals because they can easily grasp information from these materials. These people also have poor auditory skills. They tend to memorize what they read instead of understanding it. A mobile device can help them visualize data.
Auditory learners prefer audio materials such as lectures, podcasts, videos, etc. They like listening to material because they can listen at their own pace. They usually do not remember much after hearing the lecture. Online learning is used to help them listen to audio files.
Kinesthetic learners prefer physical activities such as playing sports, dancing, exercising, etc. They like doing things because they feel better when they are physically active. It is difficult for kinesthetic learners to sit still for long periods of time.
