Introduction
Due to development in technology today, the students have the opportunity to either learn while being connected to the internet or even access classroom learning. Although each belongs to the ultimate DVD format, how well does each of them fit with learning styles? In this post, the writer aims at identifying which learning modes may be appropriate for the given learning modalities so that learners and trainers can determine the most appropriate mode.

1. Understanding Different Learning Styles

• Visual Learners: If possible use such icons instead of full proof descriptions of the concept e.g. images, charts, diagrams etc.
• Auditory Learners: Believe that, lecture, discussion and any audio formats are the most effective for them.
• Reading/Writing Learners: Are more comfortable with typed input, as in reading or writing a book or taking notes.
• Kinesthetic Learners: Concrete experience where you use your body and learn through different interactions with your environment.
• Combination Learners: There are ‘’facilities’’ for over 100 types of learners, and such a large number of students fall under these categories to varying degrees and receive both.

2. Virtual Learning: Benefits and Limitations for Each Style

• Visual Learners: As it adjusts to the students’ needs and educational process, VL includes many types of multimedia tools: videos, infographics, and slides, which is great for individuals, who prefer visual perception.
• Auditory Learners: Synchronous and asynchronous video based communications, recorded lectures, and other audio material are helpful for the students of the auditory players, who can re- listen to the information in case they have missed it the first time.
• Reading/Writing Learners: They suggest that virtual learning offers many articles, notes, and other study materials, which encompass reading/writing learners’ interests.
• Kinesthetic Learners: While virtual learning can be rather difficult, there are ways to cope with it – through such methods as interactive simulations and virtual laboratories as well as physical activity breaks.
• Combination Learners: Virtual learning means that the course can be adaptable and personalized and use video and audio and text material.

3. In-Person Learning: Benefits and Limitations for Each Style

• Visual Learners: In-person knowledge delivery enables those who learn best through watching to see instructions and demonstrations on how to do things, as well as to watch instructors draw on whiteboards or projectors.
• Auditory Learners: Much can occur in the classroom setting, where it is possible to have conversations, get live feedbacks or even emphasis on verbal communication, something that will suit the Auditory learning type best.
• Reading/Writing Learners: Face-to-face-learning offer traditional teaching aids such as books, and handouts, notes taking that is deemed appropriate for learners who learn through reading and writing.
• Kinesthetic Learners: Combining practical in- person Labs, group work, as well as, class contact is effectiveness for kinesthetic learner.
• Combination Learners: Face-to-face education offers possibilities for differentiated, embodied, and gestural teaching and learning throughout the material presented during the class.

4. Key Differences: Virtual vs. In-Person for Each Learning Style

• Structure vs. Flexibility: Virtual learning has advantages that conform to certain learning types while face-to-face learning has the advantage of a rigid setting that may be appropriate for others.
• Social Interaction and Collaboration: While synchronous learning delivers more face-to-face sharp orientation that is particularly important for the Auditory and Social learning personalities.
• Self-Paced Learning: One of the biggest advantages of virtual platforms is that they give learners the opportunity to work through course materials at their own pace which will benefit students who require additional time with the learning materials.

5. How to Maximize Learning in Each Format

• For Virtual Learning: Tips are the learning schedule, and suggesting how to stay interested; interactively, for example using study partners, or kinesthetic breaks.
• For In-Person Learning: Extend classroom learning in different ways, for example group discussion, moving from one group to the other, and other hand-on activities in situations where such needs arise like having to make presentations.

Conclusion
Virtual learning has its own advantages and also in – person learning also has its own benefits according to the nature of learning. From these differences, students and educators need to make decisions that would enhance the learning environment depending on the perception of the students. The weak point is that most of these arrangements fail to use strong elements of the physical or virtual classroom to make learning beneficial.
