Abstract Learning style is defined as the unique approach or preferential way of an individual to acquire knowledge based on his/her strengths, weakness, and preferences. Neil Fleming’s model of student learning assessment tool “VARK – (Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic)”, describes and categorizes different learning styles.
