3. Conclusion: Having two equal learning styles I can try to pick the strengths that help me in online learning from each and use those to minimize any weaknesses that come up. For example a visual learner should do well online since almost everything is done on a computer and seen. The opposite is my kinesthetic side which makes me antsy and does not want to let me sit at the computer processing information for hours on end. If i can utilize movement while reading my computer online learning should be a breeze right?

4. Two learning styles, equal.. lucky me
