Aaron S. Richmond, Rhoda Cummings

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate the application of Kolb’s (1984) theory of Experiential Learning to online distance education. Specifically, there are three main objectives: (1) present Kolb’s Learning Style research and Experiential Learning theory and justify its use in online education, (2) provide a critical evaluation of learning style research in online learning environments, and (3) demonstrate how to consider student learning styles in online distance education via a fictitious online distance education course in educational psychology.
