Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether learning styles are effective in the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in an educational environment.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to determine the learning outcome and effectiveness of instructional design strategy using Canfield's learning styles and Gardner's Multiple Intelligences to accommodate TBI-induced cognitive impairments in an online science learning environment.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Learning Effectiveness
Time Frame: 3 Months
This study will explore the use of a cognitive rehabilitation approach as suggested by Gardner's Multiple Intelligences for its potential application to online course design for brain injured patients/students. It involves designing instruction for a science unit based on four of Canfield's learning styles.
Secondary Outcomes
