Abstract: Abstract: Research shows that people learn in different ways and that learning styles can be tied to personality types. With the growth of online courses, there has been much research regarding the connection of personality type to learning styles, specifically personality types as specified by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. As expected, Introverts tend to prefer working alone while Extroverts prefer learning environments that feature an element of collaboration. Other personality traits also factor into expectations and preference with regard to and for online courses.
