Title
Character Traits in Online Education - Case Study.
Abstract
In this paper we seek to better understand the outcomes of online education by observing the role of learner’s personality traits. Under the assumption that the behaviors that maximize learning are dependent on the delivery method, we compared learning outcomes of students participating in two classes set up on an interactive e-learning platform. Our results confirm that personality traits are independent variables worthy of consideration in online settings. The preliminary results reveal that Extraversion, Openness and Conscientiousness personality traits are the most influential factors on the student’s perceived quality of experience. Specifically, we argue that online education demands a particular set of behavioral patterns (i.e., low companionship, achievement orientation) necessary to navigate the eccentricity of online environment (e.g., social isolation, schedule flexibility). We discuss the theoretical implications of our results in the context of online education and offer practical suggestions for online teaching design.
