摘要
In the context of rapid technology development, it comes as no surprise that technology continues to impact the educational domain, challenging traditional teaching and learning styles. This study focuses on how students with different learning styles use instructional technology, and in particular, the tablet PC to enhance their learning experience. The VARK model was chosen as our theoretical framework as we analyzed responses quantitatively and qualitatively of an online survey. Results indicate that the tablet PC does cater to all learning styles.
