Overview of Learning Types

Professor Diane Laurillard sees learning as being made up of six distinct learning types. These learning types have proven to be a highly effective method in assisting educators to chart students' learning journeys by mapping each activity to one or more learning types. The 6 Learning Types are based on the pedagogical theory of Laurillard's Conversational Framework.
