Drawing on the latest research into learning, memory, and information processing, the book addresses key questions, such as: What is meant by multiple intelligences?

The principles laid out in the book are suitable for use in the classroom, or in distance, online, or blended learning environments. The text is laid out in an attractive style, and includes questionnaires, activities, key learning points, illustrations, diagrams, flow charts, and mindmaps.
