Faculty Resources: UDL vs VARK

There is no credible research showing that students learn better when being taught with their "favorite" learning style. 

However, using multi-modal (Universal Design for Learning) methods of having more than one way of presenting information does improve learning. 

Using two or more modes (audio, visual, text-based, and/or doing / performing a skill  or concept) is the best practice.

It's encouraged teachers to be more multimodal in their TEACHING style in order to (in their minds) reach a wider variety of learners. Even if the hypothesis was wrong, it's ultimately created a stronger teaching style."
