The Benefits of Audible-only Instruction and the Differences Between Different Modes of Instruction

I believe that using Audio-only instruction will not be as beneficial to the learner in terms of acquiring knowledge, simply because it is a uni-modal method of instruction. On top of that, to those people that have the capacity of utilizing all their senses, audio instruction is not that much more different that text instruction by itself. Having said that, some will benefit more from audio-only instruction versus text only instruction.

People that are strong auditory learners will benefit greatly from the auditory, stimulating instruction. There are in fact some individuals that learn better from hearing instruction, than actually seeing it. However, if you are hearing impaired, then audio-only instruction will obviously not be the best.

I believe that using auditory-only instruction, might best be used as supplement that involves other senses. If used in conjunction with other sense stimulating activities, then the use of auditory-only instruction will be beneficial at solidifying and creating more neuro connections in the brain about a particular topic. The more sense and areas of the brain that are activated in the learning process, the better the outcome will be from the learner.

As stated earlier, text-only instruction does not differ much from auditory-only instruction. I In fact, besides the different parts that are activated in the learner during the learning process, they are practically the same thing, as one would have to write a script to read from while recording the audible instruction. Visual instruction is less laborious that both text and auditory-only instruction, as more can be said with less. In the end the efficacy of the different modes of instruction will be contingent upon the preferences and penchants of the learner.
