Learning Style and Learner Satisfaction in a Course Delivery Context - This presentation describes the results and implications of a correlational study of learning styles and learner satisfaction. The relationship of these empirical concepts was examined in the context of traditional versus e-blended modes of course delivery. Significant results indicated that the visual side of the visual-verbal dimension of students’ learning style(s) was positively correlated to satisfaction with themselves as learners in an e-blended course delivery mode and negatively correlated to satisfaction with the classroom environment in the context of a traditional classroom course delivery mode. Presented at The International Conference on Computer, Electrical, and Systems Science, and Engineering (CESSE 2008), Rome, Italy.
