Abstract:
This presentation will discuss a study evaluating how individual learner differences relate to academic performance in the online environment. This study focused on student characteristics such as student use of learning strategies, or self-regulated learning, as factors that contribute to positive academic performance in an online course. Understanding the role of learner differences in the online learning environment will assist institutions to make decisions regarding online programs such as what resources need to be allocated toward online advising and technical support for students, course development support for faculty, and investing in learning management software or collaboration software.
