Who designed the VARK model?

Fleming & Mills

What do the letters in VARK stand for?

V - Visual
A - Aural (Auditory)
R - Read/Write
K - Kinesthetic

In the VARK model, what kind of people fall into the Visual category?

People who learn best when the information is presented in images such as charts, maps, diagrams, hierarchies, patterns, and shapes instead of words.

In the VARK model, what kind of people fall into the Aural (Auditory) category?

People who would rather hear someone speak the information are auditory learners. They grasp information better by listening to lectures, tapes, group discussions, and talking things through.

What does it mean for someone to be "multi-modal"?

It means they learn using more than one modality of learning.
