Web. 10 Feb 2016.[\/footnote]\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Authority style<\/strong>: Instructors with an\u00a0authority style of teaching prefer to give lectures while standing in front of class, often doing a combination of talking and writing information on the board. Students are expected to listen and take notes. While the authority style may\u00a0work for active\/reflective students who can take\u00a0notes to review later, it\u00a0may\u00a0be difficult for kinesthetic learners. These students could take advantage of\u00a0their learning style by drawing study guides in their notes and creating and playing review games when they study with friends.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Demonstrator style<\/strong>: Instructors with\u00a0a demonstrator style of teaching\u00a0prefer to lecture, also, but they prefer to \"show\" students what they're explaining, often by using visual aids such as Powerpoint presentations, handouts, and demos.\u00a0While this teaching style may\u00a0appeal to visual learners and auditory learners who can simultaneously hear and visualize the information, this approach may not be as appealing to kinesthetic learners. These students might offer to assist instructors during demonstrations, so they can be more active while learning.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Facilitator style<\/strong>: Instructors with a facilitator style rely heavily on class discussion, asking students to participate a lot while they provide prompts and guiding questions. While this learning style is effective for auditory learners, visual students may\u00a0want to create concept maps in their notes, which they can review later, while kinesthetic\/tactile learners may want to\u00a0write their notes on index cards to use for studying outside of class.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Delegator style<\/strong>: Instructors with\u00a0a delegator approach prefer to structure their classes around student-run projects and presentations\u2014their own teaching takes a backseat to students teaching one another. While this learning style may\u00a0be beneficial for auditory and kinesthetic learners, visual learners may\u00a0need to take notes throughout the projects and presentations so that they have study guides they can visualize.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Hybrid style<\/strong>: Instructors with\u00a0a hybrid teaching style\u00a0use a combination of the learning styles above. For example, during an hourlong class session, they might schedule\u00a0twenty minutes for a lecture, twenty minutes for class discussion, and twenty minutes for a classactivity. While this teaching style can potentially\u00a0appeal to all learning styles, some students may\u00a0have trouble adjusting to the shifts in format or activities. Still, such classes\u2014especially the group activities\u2014provide opportunities for different learning styles: Visual learners might\u00a0take notes or record everyone\u2019s ideas, auditory learners could facilitate their group\u2019s conversation, and the kinesthetic\/tactile learners could be responsible for creating\u00a0any props or presentations to share the group work with the rest of the class.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_311\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]<a href=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images-archive-read-only\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1110\/2016\/02\/02025022\/3965109594_47545a7af2_z.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-311\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images-archive-read-only\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1110\/2016\/02\/02025022\/3965109594_47545a7af2_z.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of a group of people sitting in a circle of chairs.
