Patterns of the brain... Is its evolution a pattern we should monitor to determine how education should evolve? I just added it to my list

It highlights the intelligence required to work in virtual classroom compared to traditional classroom. The results:

The results of this investigation suggested that a virtual learning environment was better suited for students who strengths are verbal/linguistic, bodily/kinesthetic intelligence and musical/rhythmical. More specifically students who have strengths in verbal-linguistics may excel in virtual environments for tasks that require accuracy, but when the tasks require extensive form acquisition components the traditional learning environment should be more effective. Furthermore, when an authority figure is present during a virtual learning environment performance of students with bodily/kinesthetic, logical/mathematical, and interpersonal strengths; skill acquisition decreased implying that these individuals may excel in unsupervised distance and/or virtual learning environments. It is also important to note that when students with strengths in naturalist and visual/spatial intelligences are given no instructional support, their actual skill retention negatively correlated over test trials; thereby, implying that these students will show decrements in learning unless given some facilitation support. Students with musical-rhythmical intelligence strengths perform better on accuracy retention and skill acquisition in a virtual environment, but when form is a significant component of the task, learning will be enhanced in a traditional environment. Students with intrapersonal strengths learn more effectively in a traditional environment, especially when the acquisition of appropriate form is essential. Additionally, traditional learning correlated with more multiple intelligences than either of the virtual learning environment groups.
