"Learning Style" is a myth

You may be surprised to hear "Learning Style" is a myth.

Previously I had been told individual's learning style could vary.  Some were "visual", others were "auditory" and others were "kinetic".

Apparently, this is an oft-repeated myth: "The Learning Styles Myth is Thriving in Higher Education"

Why has this myth persisted?  Apparently "learning style" producers can profit by creating programs and materials that cater to their theory of learning.  Administrators and politicians can skimp on materials and lay blame on  "those narrow, analytic teachers who’ve never heard of learning styles."

So what can anyone who educates apply from this revelation?  Use all methods available.  Illustrate. Talk.  Do.
