“…They did, however, conclude that LSQ was acceptable in a self-development and experience context. Which echoes the findings of Presland (1994) that identified the LSQ as one of only a few mechanisms specifically developed to assess/measure learning styles. As with learning preferences there may be a possibility of developing a register that made a comparison between the learning style of the individual and the learning style of the organisation.…”

Purpose -The elearn2work study of learning styles in the context of small to micro firms' (SMFs) and their perceived satisfaction has identified some important finding specific to e-learning content design, delivery and international standards development. Design/methodology/approach -The method of research adopts a deductive rather than an inductive approach via descriptive profiling and multivariate statistical analysis. Findings -From the elearn2work study we have identified tentative findings that indicate e-learning inequity for many SMF learners including employees and managers. From our research there is a clear gap between the profile of SMF learners, in the context of their learning style, and the typical content that is currently being designed for e-learning provision. The sector is driven by analytic type educators/trainers who are frequently not a reflection of SMF learners. Originality/value -It could be argued that many SMF workers are currently being socially excluded from e-learning provision through pedagogy inequity when considering the lack of learning styles support in work-based learning practice.
