and general information from Dr. Felder at;

I also must jump in here to make a suggestion and provide some focus on our students. I will quote a
wonderful consultant
I have used for the ATE project I co-direct in South Carolina,
Richard Felder(Professor of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina
State Univ.) states "Effective education teacher to students' learning style weaknesses as well as their
strengths. Some students tend to focus on facts, data, and algorithms; others are more comfortable with
theories and mathematical models. Some respond strongly to visual forms of information, like pictures,
diagrams, and schematics; others get more form verbal forms--written and spoken explanations. Some
prefer to learn actively an interactively others function more introspectively and individually.
Functioning effectively in any professional capacity, however, requires working well in all learning
style modes" ....(Key point for what we are preparing our students to do---work in the real world!) a
quote from his paper "Matter of Style" published in the ASEE Prism, Dec 1996.
I would encourage you to visit his web site on effective teaching.

I think we all must become more aware of how to reach our students and prepare them for the fast
changing technological world they must survive in in the 21st Century and we must keep technology
in their hands and incorporate it as much as possible into our content coverage.
