In the first class of the program (EDU 523), a survey asked each student the best way that they learn. My response was that I learn best through a hands-on approach, or learning by doing. I am sure that this falls into a particular theory which influences instructional design. There are so many factors that influence learning such as: environment (the setting where the learning takes place); culture, demographics of the learners, etc. that I believe it would be difficult to base instructional design off of one theory of how learners learn and instead must blend several theories in order to design the best instruction.
