Learning styles and technical communication: improving communication and teamwork skills

This paper presents a rationale and methods for teaching Kolb learning style theory in the technical communication classroom. Specifically, the author presents Kolb learning style theory and examples of applying it in two different courses, a technical communication course for engineering majors and a combined chemical engineering lab/technical communication course. In these courses, students use learning style theory to devise communication strategies and analyze lab group interaction.
