Learning design: Creating a quality learning environment

Research completed for this paper found that an optimal online learning experience should appeal to all of the learning styles of all students. This discussion focuses on how to apply Web-based tools to design courses that appeal to all learning styles beginning with teacher centered learning, moving to more active student involvement in their learning and concluding with the use of student-based teaching techniques. The author's research found that courses should include all learning styles and end with a metacognitive exercise in which students reflect on what they've learned.
