Who put up the link? Include name, address, phone, and other contact information The idea to develop an Institute for Learning Style Research (http://www.learningstyles.org) was first conceived in 1970 by Dr. Russell French of the University of Tennessee, in an effort to create a theoretical framework for the different perceptual learning styles that individuals develop. It was not until 1996, when a group of researchers used Dr. Frenchs idea to develop a Multi-Modal Paired Associates Learning Test (MMPALT-III). After this invention, the ILSR decided to create a web presence as a means of advertising the learning test (MMPALT-III). Based on the information provided in this website, the applications for the MMPALT III extend from the field of education among teachers and students to the domain of business amid trainers and participants and to the realm of individuals interested in their own formal and informal lifelong learning. The Institute for Learning Style Researchs contact information is as follows: ILSR@chartertn.net Phone Number: (865) 982-6253. Mission statement: The Institute for Learning Styles Research (ILSR) is a group of researchers, instructors, and individuals interested in the art and science of learning and teaching.

What is the best/worst feature of the site? After thoroughly exploring this website, I noticed that the website has a lack of information in specific areas such as teaching and learning methods, implications of assessment models in the workplace or in the teaching-learning process, and learning strategies in an educational or workforce setting. On the other hand, I believe that the best feature of this site is the interactive link that allows individuals to complete the Perceptual Modality Preference Survey. The survey is designed to help learners rank their seven perceptual styles and plan for future learning experiences.
