Oh, dear, and just when I was about to do a humblebrag that my paper on #AI in #MedEd had 100 citations, indicating that people have found it useful in their work. Sigh. Well, in case anyone is interested, it's at tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1… #healthIT

Yup, largely debunked. Sure, people will report learning preferences (or styles), but those preferences are largely unrelated to how they learn best. See here for more on that... #MedEd journals.lww.com/academicmed…
Replying to @drkatielockwood
vark-learn.com/the-vark-ques… I think learning styles have been kinda debunked. I honestly don't know the lit that well. The fact that I come out as heavily visual and am a big podcast user is interesting. Cc @mededdoc

As we head into the weekend, remember: #remoteteaching in a crisis is NOT the same as online teaching & learning. Give yourself permission to be flexible with yourself & your students, & know that your presence & care for your students is more important than any tech or activity.
