Abstract
Because learning styles affect how students approach new material, a deeper comprehension of these styles can help professors enhance student learning experiences. In this paper we discuss how learning style data can be used to help guide student study habits and instructional strategies. Additionally, we examine whether or not there is a correlation between learning style and academic performance in an introductory computer science course.Keywords
