Module 2: Contexts of Learning and Learner Characteristics

Right vs. Left Brain

It is helpful to have some knowledge of how the brain works to further understand learning styles. The idea of Left Brain vs. Right Brain Learning Styles represents two different "modes" of thinking preference and how they influence learning.  Of course, both sides of the brain work together to help us learn, but some individuals have strong preferences. Looking at the graphic representation of right and left brain “characteristics”, are you more left brain or right brain oriented? How will this influence your learning style?
