These approaches also result in narrow characterizations of students aslearners, usually identifying them as somewhere on a continuum between two binary definitions.Moreover, they offer students and teachers few options or strategies for situations whereparticular styles or talents cannot be accommodated. This paper discusses the expandedunderstanding of the learner available via the Interactive Learning Model™. The richerunderstanding available from this approach is explained, and applications of these insights tostudent learning in engineering courses are outlined. In particular, the paper focuses
