Just as people have individual learning styles, teachers have teaching styles that works best for them. It is important to be aware of your preferences when creating and delivering online instruction.

One way in which teaching styles can be categorized is as:

• formal authority
• demonstrator or personal model
• facilitator
• delegator

Do you know what type you are?

To get an indication of what your main teaching style is, take our teaching styles quiz.

Interested in seeing how the four categories compare?

Take a look at the "Four Corner" web page from Indiana State University where you can compare how each teaching style might be used to teach about making webpages.
